Abstract
The vasculitides are important, both because they are recognized with increasing frequency and because they are potentially treatable causes of neurologic disease. Experimental systems of vascular inflammation have expanded our knowledge of the mechanisms associated with inflammation of the blood vessels. The challenge for the clinician and scientist is to recognize vasculitis, discover any identifiable causes, determine the mechanisms of disease, and devise a treatment that minimizes tissue injury without disabling the body’s normal immune function.
