We describe a case of necrotizing arteritis of the brain in a 26-year-old man who presented as organic brain syndrome. The lesion has been confused clinically with acute encephalitis. At necropsy, no other abnormalities suggestive of systemic arteritis were found. Such CNS-restricted necrotizing arteritis of medium and small arteries in the absence of granuloma is extremely uncommon.
