We present the case of an apparently healthy 31-year-old man with malignant progression of coronary artery disease and recurrent angina resulting from suspected large vessel vasculitis. This case highlights the importance of considering vasculitis in patients without atherosclerotic risk factors, using a multidisciplinary team approach, and suppressing inflammation coronary revascularization to improve outcomes.

Background: Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is a common head and neck malignant tumor, which is difficult to treat at the advanced NPC due to its occult and high metastatic potential to the cervical lymph nodes and distant organs. Low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) is increasingly being investigated for potential cancer treatment. When combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors, LDRT has been shown to significantly improve the immune microenvironment of tumors, thereby promote the immune attack on tumor cells.

However, it may have an atypical course without the typical tetrad. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH), heart failure, and stroke are known complications of IgAV but are all very rare.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) falls within the spectrum of central nervous system (CNS) demyelinating diseases that may lead to permanent neurological disability. Fundamental to the diagnosis and clinical surveillance is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that allows for the identification of T2-hyperintensities associated with autoimmune injury that demonstrate distinct spatial distribution patterns. Here, we describe the clinical experience of a 31-year-old, right-handed, White man seen in consultation at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, following complaints of headaches that began after head trauma related to military service.
