Vasculitis and the peripheral nervous system [PDF]

Rheumatology, 2020
Abstract Peripheral neuropathy is a common feature of systemic vasculitis and can also occur when vessel wall inflammation is confined to the vasa nervorum, as a tissue-specific condition—non-systemic vasculitic neuropathy (NSVN). Typically, the clinical picture in both systemic and non-systemic cases is of a lower limb predominant ...
