Gliomatosis cerebri angiographically mimicking central nervous system angiitis: case report.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Cerebral vasospasm is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients who are hospitalized because of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Recent work has suggested that activation of the complement cascade contributes to the development of cerebral vasospasm. To further examine this hypothesis,...
