Fulltext PDFWe present a case of a 69-year-old man who presented with one year of cognitive decline, recurrent ischemic strokes, and new onset visual hallucinations. Initially, clinical and radiographic findings raised concern for central nervous system vasculitis, however brain biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma.
During hospitalization, Brain MRI revealed multiple acute ischemic strokes in both cerebral hemispheres, a diagnostic brain angiogram showed mild alternating stenosis in branches of right anterior and middle cerebral arteries, and a brain biopsy reported intravascular large B-cell lymphoma.
This case report emphasizes the broad neurologic presentation of intravascular B-cell lymphoma and the urgency of his early diagnosis.
