A member asked:
Is damage from cerebral vasculitis reversible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on timing: Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS), a condition characterized by reversible vasoconstriction and sudden thunderclap headache, is often confused with cerebral vasculitis (CV). In general, CV is treated with steroids and cyclophosphamide (or rituximab). Discuss the diagnostic findings with your neurologist for further evaluation. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3002614/
