Unusual presentations of steroid-responsive meningitis arteritis (SRMA)
- Steroid-responsive meningitis arteritis is an immune-mediate, systemic, multiorganic disease. It usually has a good outcome.
- Performing thorough physical and neurological examination is crucial, because in some cases, implication of other systems and organs may occur, due to the involvement of their vascular beds.
- In these cases, imaging of other body areas, like head and thorax, may be needed.
- Involvement of other organs/systems is often subclinical but it may result sometimes in severe neurological dysfunction.
