We present a 63 year old man with new onset of fluctuating headache and behavioural changes showing marked inhibition and disorientation. After non invasive and invasive diagnostics an isolated cerebral vasculitis was found. Key results have been found in cerebral MRI and cerebral digital subtraction angiography with irregularities of vessel calibre of the intracerebral arteries. During treatment with high-dose corticosteroid therapy and Cyclophosphamid pulse therapy qualitative disorders and headache rapidly regressed. We discuss differential diagnosis of secondary headache, etiology of cerebral vasculitides, diagnostic challenge and therapy in isolated cerebral vasculitis.
