Small vessel vasculitis presenting as neurological disorder.

D H Miller, L F Haas, C Teague

    Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry
    |August 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Small vessel vasculitis can cause neurological symptoms like stroke or weakness. Consider this diagnosis in patients with elevated ESR or immunoglobulin levels, especially with nerve or skin involvement.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Rheumatology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Small vessel vasculitis is an inflammatory condition affecting small blood vessels.
    • Neurological manifestations are not always considered a primary feature.

    Observation:

    • Three patients with biopsy-proven small vessel vasculitis presented with distinct neurological symptoms.
    • Symptoms included transient ischemic attacks, myalgia with encephalopathy, and myalgia with severe weakness.

    Findings:

    • Neurological symptoms can be a significant presenting feature of small vessel vasculitis.
    • Diagnosis should be considered in patients with polyneuropathy or skin issues, alongside elevated ESR or immunoglobulins.

    Implications:

    • Neurological presentations of small vessel vasculitis may be underdiagnosed.
    • Early consideration of vasculitis in neurological cases can improve patient outcomes.
