Implication

Retrospective cohort analysis demonstrates frequent SWI hemorrhages and dot-linear enhancement in primary CNS vasculitis, suggesting their inclusion as minor diagnostic criteria.

Key Points

Hemorrhages on susceptibility-weighted imaging and contrast enhancement occur in nearly all individuals with primary cns vasculitis, defining key neuroimaging features.
Susceptibility-weighted imaging detects hemorrhages in 96.4% of patients, while contrast-enhanced mri demonstrates parenchymal enhancement in 96.3% of evaluated cases.
Retrospective cohort analysis of 56 biopsy-confirmed cases supports incorporating dot-linear enhancement and microhemorrhages as minor diagnostic criteria for this disease.
