摘要

Immune-mediated mechanisms are involved in the pathogenesis of both cerebral vasculitis and Parkinson's disease (PD,brainstem-predominant Lewy pathology),but the presentation of cerebral vasculitis with comorbid Lewy pathology has not yet been reported.Here we present a case of pathologically confirmed vasculitis in a 73-year-old male patient whose postmortem examination revealed Lewy pathology diagnostic of PD.This case study suggests a comorbidity of cerebral vasculitis and Lewy pathology,as well as potential pathogenic interactions between these two disorders with immune-mediated mechanisms.
