To report a case of primary angiitis of the central nervous system in childhood and the effect of early immunosuppressive treatment.
Patient presented with acute hemiplegia and headaches.
MRI showed acute cerebral infarction and vessel wall enhancement.
Prompt steroid therapy initiated and monitored.
Clinical improvements were tracked over time.
Prompt treatment led to resolution of vessel wall enhancement within 26 days.
No cognitive decline was observed with treatment.
Contrast-enhanced MRI proved significant in acute diagnosis and monitoring.
