Prognosis of Patients with Suspected Primary CNS Angiitis and Negative Brain Biopsy Neurol 61:831-833, Alreshaid,A.A.&Powers,W.J., 2003 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The authors retrospectively analyzed 25 patients who had a nondiagnostic brain biopsy for clinically suspected primary CNS angiitis to determine the effect of immunosuppressive therapy on 1-year outcome. Good outcome was seen in 6 of 10 treated patients and in 8 of 15 untreated patients (p=0.93). These findings do not indicate that the addition of immunosuppressive therapy significantly enhances outcome of patients with clinically suspected primary angiitis of the CNS and a nondiagnostic brain biopsy.
