The following is a case study involving a 13-year-old girl who presented initial symptoms of an upper respiratory infection. One week later she experienced a short seizure and hours later a grand mal seizure. MRI examination of the brain demonstrated multiple changing abnormal foci of increased density in white and gray matter suggestive of a vasculitic inflammatory pattern. As a result of proteinuria and red cell casts on urinalysis, a renal biopsy was performed resulting in a diagnosis of acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN). We concluded on the basis of the MRI that vasculitis was secondary to APSGN. The following paper is a description of our findings in this case and a review of the literature supporting this new interpretation of CNS disease due to APSGN.
