Organizing pneumonia associated with myeloperoxidase anti‐neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody
Organizing pneumonia (OP) is a clinicopathological entity that occurs idiopathically or in association with several conditions, but there are few reports about myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA)-associated OP. We describe a patient with OP whose clinical conditions improved spontaneously. Moreover, serum MPO-ANCA titers paralleled the clinical activity of the diseas...
متن کاملMultiple cranial nerve palsy revealing hypertrophic pachymeningitis with positive myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody.
Pachymeningitis is a progressive disease resulting in a diffuse thickening of dura mater due to inflammation, tumor or autoimmune diseases, but most cases are idiopathic. Here, we report the case of a 60-year old man who had a progressive sensorineural hearing loss, visual disturbance and others cranial nerve involvement with an accompanying headache over several months. Brain magnetic resonanc...
متن کاملAnti-neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-associated Vasculitis Complicated by Periaortitis and Cranial Hypertrophic Pachymeningitis: A Report of an Autopsy Case
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a systemic inflammatory disorder categorized as small-vessel vasculitis. We herein report an elderly Japanese man with AAV (granulomatosis with polyangiitis affecting the eyes, nose, lungs, and kidneys) who also showed periaortitis at the diagnosis and developed cranial hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP) during steroid maintenan...

Teaching NeuroImages: Myeloperoxidase–anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody–positive hypertrophic pachymeningitis A woman in her 40s presents with painless monocular vision loss and is found to have optic perineuritis and dural thickening. Comprehensive laboratory testing,MRI of the brain, and dural biopsy reveal a diagnosis of myeloperoxidase–antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody–positive hypertr...
متن کاملA case of myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA)-associated glomerulonephritis and concurrent membranous nephropathy
BACKGROUND Myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis (MPO-ANCA-GN) and concurrent membranous nephropathy (MN) are very rare combination. Their causal relationship has been suggested, but not determined. CASE PRESENTATION A 73-years-old male with 5-year history of proteinuria underwent an operation for his sigmoid colon cancer. Seven months later, he wa...
