Abstract
Background: Anti-GBM disease is a small vessel vasculitis that occurs when circulating antibodies against the glomerular basement membrane develop. It is a relatively rare disease, occurring in less than two cases per million population. The usual presentation is with renal or lung manifestations or with a combination of both. Case Presentation: Our case reports a patient who presented with end-stage renal disease secondary to anti-GBM disease, with no pulmonary manifestations, who later presented with a syndrome suggesting cerebral vasculitis, that responded to immunosuppressive treatment. Conclusion: Cerebral involvement in anti-GBM disease is very rare and to our knowledge, only a few cases have been so far reported.
