Abstract:
A 17-year-old Japanese woman diagnosed with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and was treated with immunotherapy suddenly developed an impaired consciousness, left hemiplegia, and conjugate eye deviation to the right. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an acute cerebral infarction in the right striatum and right middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion. As her GPA had worsened recently, intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) was started. Immediately after IVMP was started, recanalization of the MCA was detected on repeat cerebral angiography. Aspirin and argatroban dissolved the residual thrombi. A combination of IVMP and antithrombotic therapy may be effective for large-vessel occlusions associated with GPA.
