High-resolution vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI) often demonstrates strong and concentric vessel wall enhancement (VWE) in patients with central nervous system vasculitis (CNS-V). However, little is known about follow-up VWE characteristics and monitoring the response to treatments. The aim of this study was to investigate serial VWE patterns and its clinical practice through the management of CNS-V.
