Cerebral vasculitis associated with acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis.

The following is a case study involving a 13-year-old girl who presented initial symptoms of an upper respiratory infection. One week later she experienced a short seizure and hours later a grand mal seizure. MRI examination of the brain demonstrated multiple changing abnormal foci of increased density in white and gray matter suggestive of a vasculitic inflammatory pattern.
