Abstract

Primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS), also known as primary vasculitis of the central nervous system, is a rare, poorly understood, and often fatal disorder.^1,2 Although the association of PACNS with optic neuropathy has been documented,^3-5 this is the first report to our knowledge of visual loss with histopathologic involvement of the optic nerves.
