Polyarteritis, a rare condition affecting blood vessels, can present with brain aneurysms. Early recognition and treatment of polyarteritis with intracerebral aneurysms are crucial due to high risks.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Polyarteritis (PAN) is a systemic vasculitis that rarely affects the brain.
  • Intracerebral aneurysms are not a typical initial presentation of PAN.

Observation:

  • This report details the first case of polyarteritis presenting with symptomatic intracerebral aneurysms.
  • A literature review identified five additional cases of polyarteritis with intracerebral aneurysms between 1966 and 1997.

Findings:

  • All reviewed cases demonstrated long-standing systemic symptoms preceding the diagnosis of polyarteritis.
  • Polyarteritis involving the cerebral vasculature and presenting as aneurysms carries substantial morbidity and mortality.

Implications:

  • This presentation highlights the importance of considering polyarteritis in patients with unexplained intracerebral aneurysms.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are critical for improving outcomes in polyarteritis with cerebral involvement.
