Nb. Fountain et Mbs. Lopes, Control of primary angiitis of the CNS associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy by cyclophosphamide alone, NEUROLOGY, 52(3), 1999, pp. 660-662
Corticosteroids combined with cyclophosphamide are currently recommended fo
r primary angiitis of the CNS. The authors report a 71-year-old man with pr
imary angiitis of the CNS and amyloid angiopathy who responded to cyclophos
phamide without steroids, suggesting that corticosteroids may not be needed
in all cases of primary angiitis of the CNS.
