Abstract
Graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) is a potentially treatable cause of progressive neurologic decline after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The authors present histologic confirmation of CNS granulomatous angiitis in a child with chronic GVHD after BMT. Since cranial MRI showed only nonspecific findings, CNS vasculitis associated with GVHD after BMT may be underdiagnosed.
