Since WG is vasculitis disease it would affect our blood vessels in our brain, which can lead to many headaches ( which I use to have) and strokes. It also can affect other area's of the brain, but is it very rare.

I read something about more fluid around the brain too. As in swelling.

I've known 2 people who had Wegs in the brain. Very rare and very difficult to treat. Common symptoms are: Problems with balance, vision, strokes, headaches, vertigo. Of course any of these can be due to other conditions as well. A brain MRI will demonstrate Wegs in the brain and help to differentiate it from other conditions.
