Read Full Paperexternally

Key Points

The aim is to assess treatment responses and long-term outcomes in patients with primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS).
Real-world observational study
Assessment of treatment responses in PACNS patients
Evaluation of long-term maintenance therapy needs
Majority of PACNS patients responded favorably to therapy
Patients with severe disease at diagnosis required ongoing therapy after initial treatment

Abstract

This study demonstrates that a majority of PACNS patients exhibit a favorable response to therapy. For patients presenting with more severe disease at diagnosis, long-term maintenance therapy following remission induction with glucocorticoids or immunosuppressive agents is required.
