CASTRO ANGULO, OSCAR; CASTRO VARGAS, HERNÁN e GUZMAN MOLANO, LUISA FERNANDA. NON-SYSTEMIC VASCULITIC NEUROPATHY: CASE REVIEW. Rev. Med [online]. 2018, vol.26, n.1, pp.91-96. ISSN 0121-5256.
Non-systemic vasculitic neuropathy is a rare condition characterized by the isolated involvement of the peripheral nervous system caused by cellular infiltration in the vascular bed responsible for its irrigation. It is a term which was coined a little over three decades ago and is considered a poorly described and underdiagnosed disease. Below, we present the clinical case of a middle-aged male patient who began experiencing progressive symptoms of motor predominance in the lower limbs, and who underwent a series of studies in order to conclude a diagnosis. The patient was treated with systemic corticosteroids, cytotoxic agents and, finally, biological agents which stabilized the symptoms.
