Abstract
Corticosteroids combined with cyclophosphamide are currently recommended for primary angiitis of the CNS. The authors report a 71-year-old man with primary angiitis of the CNS and amyloid angiopathy who responded to cyclophosphamide without steroids, suggesting that corticosteroids may not be needed in all cases of primary angiitis of the CNS.
