Primary Angiitis of the Central Nervous System: Emerging Variants
Q J Med 98:643-654, Maclaren,K.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Direct cerebral angiography was not diagnostic in any case of SVD PACNS; positive brain biopsy is diagnostically unequivocal, but the total clinical syndrome with imaging may establish a diagnosis with highest probability. In MVD PACNS, angiography with MR scan proved diagnostic. We suggest an algorithm for a rational, minimally invasive approach to investigation. In PACNS, SVD and MVD are important variants, and decisions about therapy should incorporate these distinctions.
