Abstract
A rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patient showed high signal intensity in th e subcortical region of the frontal and occipital lobes on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Histopathological examination in th e autopsy specimen revealed severe systemic vasculitis. Additional rad iological and laboratory studies revealed that transient cerebral isch emia induced by vasculitis occurred in this patient.
