Peripheral neuropathy in systemic vasculitis

Abstract: Twenty-two patients with evidence of systemic vasculitis and peripheral neuropathy were clinically and electrophysiologically investigated in a retrospective study. Ten had a polyarteritis nodosa, 6 a probable polyarteritis nodosa, and 6 a Churg-Strauss syndrome. Nine patients presented clinically with mononeuropathy or mononeuropathy multiplex considered typical of ischemic involvement of peripheral nerve; nine had more diffuse neuropathy, two of them a symmetric polyneuropathy. EMG examination revealed more … Show more

“…As mononeurites múltiplas podem ser manifestações de vasculites sistêmicas ou outras patologias como a sarcoidose, diabetes, linfoma e síndrome de imunodeficiência adquirida [1][2][3][4][5] . A junção dos aspectos clínicos mais característicos da GW, nem sempre está presente nas avaliações iniciais dos pacientes.…”

“…Estatísticas atuais inferem que as polineuropatias assimétricas, bem como as polineuropatias distais simétricas, são pelo menos tão frequentes quanto a mononeurite múltipla 4,5 . Relatamos um caso de mononeurite múltipla secundária a GW, no qual o quadro neurológico foi um dos sintomas iniciais, antecipando as usuais formas de apresentação desta patologia, ressaltando desta forma, a conduta já consagrada na literatura, de busca exaustiva para uma provável causa primá-ria, quando diante de uma disordem neuropática.…”
