Abstract
Nonatherosclerotic vasculopathies comprise a great variety of diseases, as listed in Table 17.1, that result from different etiologies; they include collagenopathies, immunological, hematological, and infection mechanisms, and other rarer causes that have in common the possibility of affecting the cerebral vessels, leading to ischemia and sometimes hemorrhage. In the majority of these diseases, the angiogram shows such findings as occlusion and irregular narrowing, alternating with dilation and sometimes aneurysm. These changes are not typical of one specific disease, but are common to all, independent of their basic pathology. Furthermore, in many cases where the involved vessel is in the precapillary-capillary sector, the angiogram may be normal, so the final diagnosis is made based on clinical and laboratories findings.
