Primary Central Nervous System Angiitis Mimicking a Space-Occupying Lesion
Background and Purpose Intracranial space-occupying lesions are a sine qua non for neoplastic lesions; however, occasionally non-neoplastic lesions mimic neoplastic lesions, leading to diagnostic dilemmas. We report our experience with three patients who presented with a progressive hemis...

Background and Purpose Intracranial space-occupying lesions are a sine qua non for neoplastic lesions; however, occasionally non-neoplastic lesions mimic neoplastic lesions, leading to diagnostic dilemmas. We report our experience with three patients who presented with a progressive hemispheric syndrome and the diagnostic considerations involved in the cases. |
