About this trial

Primary central nervous system vasculitis (CNSV) is a potentially fatal, single-organ vasculitis that often involves a spectrum of neurologic complications, including strokes, cognitive and speech impairment, visual loss, dementia, and encephalopathy. The purpose of this study is to establish a research cohort to investigate the disease process, treatments, and patient outcomes in CNSV.
