What symptoms are associated with CNS vasculitis?
The symptoms associated with CNS vasculitis are varied. However, many patients with this disorder follow a similar clinical course. Patients usually develop headaches as an initial symptom. This may be accompanied by changes in the patients mental status. These symptoms are then followed by weakness over parts of the body, seizures, ataxia (an inability to smoothly coordinate muscle movements), or even coma. In fact, it is not uncommon for a patient to exhibit the signs of a stroke.
