Abstract:of IVLBCL with cerebral involvement is the triad of subacute encephalopathy, multiple strokes, and elevated serum LDH. Cerebral vasculitis, septic encephalopathy, or infections of the CNS are the commonly considered diagnoses. Brain biopsy is the diagnostic procedure of choice when IVLBCL may be suspected. Conclusions: Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma is a rare and typically fatal cause of recurrent ischemic strokes which requires early invasive testing to provide proper treatment and improve prognosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
