Can cerebral angiitis be treated effectively with anti-inflammatory drugs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: It depends what you mean by anti-inflammatory meds. True cerebral angiitis needs very aggressive therapy with high dose corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents such as Cytoxan and possibly rituxan (rituximab).
