OBJECTIVE
Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a rare vasculitis in childhood and poor information is known about its long-term outcome. Our aim was to describe the clinical features, at onset and during the disease course, of childhood-onset PAN and identify a potential correlation with persistent organ
We report here two cases (72-year-old woman, 77-year-old-woman) with perinuclear anti-neutrophil antibody (P-ANCA) positive microscopic polyarteritis nodosa (mPN). Both patients presented with generalized convulsion, consciousness disturbance and severe hypertension several days after the
We report a case of a reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS). A 57-year-old male had classical polyarteritis nodosa with mononeuritis multiplex, renal insufficiency, and a high titer of p-ANCA (MPO). He was normotensive. He was treated with high dose methylprednisolone and then
An 18-month-old neutered male domestic shorthair cat was referred with a history of pyrexia, polyuria and polydypsia, and transient episodes of bilateral hindlimb paralysis. Cardiac evaluation revealed severe systemic hypertension and severe concentric hypertrophy of the left ventricle. One month

BACKGROUND
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is a presentation which is diagnosed clinico-radiologically. The primary aetiological processes leading to posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome are many, which include autoimmune conditions. Polyarteritis nodosa as an aetiological
A 14-year-old girl was diagnosed with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) with homozygous for M694V mutation of the MEFV gene and was started on colchicine therapy 4 years before admission to our hospital. She was uncompliant to therapy and was admitted to a local hospital with complaining of fever,
Cerebral involvement is rare in polyarteritis nodosa(PAN);furthermore, secondary intracranial hemorrhage due to cerebral aneurysm is extremely rare. We describe an unusual case of repeated subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH)in a 64-year-old woman with a history of PAN. Initially, she developed severe
Peripheral neuropathies are well-known complications of primary systemic vasculitides. In rare cases, peripheral neuropathies are among the first symptoms of these diseases. In this prospective study, 89 consecutive adult patients with newly diagnosed primary systemic vasculitis were screened, of
Guillain-Barré syndrome and other neurologic syndromes occur rarely as complications of viral hepatitis, although a causal association has not been established. Seven cases of serologically documented hepatitis A have been reported with Guillain-Barré syndrome; all recovered, with mild neurologic
Guillain-Barre and other neurologic syndromes rarely occur as complications of viral hepatitis (A, B and C). Other neurologic syndromes have also been reported in serologically defined viral hepatitis, including mononeuritis, auditory neuritis, and seizures. Chronic hepatitis B and mononeuritis
Rheumatological conditions can sometimes present as emergencies. These can occur due to the disease process or may be iatrogenic. Some of the important articular emergencies are septic arthritis, acute polyarthritis and atlanto-axial dislocation. Classical polyarteritis nodosa may present with
An eight-year-old Japanese boy developed abdominal pain, followed by convulsion and loss of consciousness. He was taken to an emergency room but could not be resuscitated. At autopsy, the left main coronary trunk (LMT) demonstrated an increase in caliber with severe luminal narrowing, and the left
Three cases of nocardial brain abscess are presented. All three patients were receiving immunosuppressive therapy at the time of diagnosis. Two patients had cardiac transplantation and the third had periarteritis nodosa. The patients presented with generalized seizures or focal weakness. Accurate
