Polyarteritis nodosa and the antiphospholipid syndrome

Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome and polyarteritis nodosa.

Seckel syndrome with polyarteritis nodosa.

Seckel syndrome is a rare genetic disorder with a typical "bird-headed" appearance. It could affect many organ systems but renal involvement is uncommon. Polyarteritis nodosa is systemic vasculitic disorder which also involves kidneys. We report a case of Seckel syndrome in a 9 year-old boy with renal involvement due to polyarteritis nodosa. According to the literature, this is the first report...

Respiratory granulomatosis with polyarteritis nodosa (Wegener's syndrome).

In 1931 Klinger published a case of nasal sinusitis which terminated in renal failure. There have since been a number of reports of a syndrome characterized clinically by a combination of intractable rhinitis or pulmonary symptoms, manifestat.ons of polyarteritis nodosa, and renal failure. Pathologically, the disease is recognized by the association of necrotizing granulomata of the respiratory...

Polyarteritis Nodosa

POLYARTERITIs NODosA, as its niame implies, is ain inflammatory lesion involving the -whole three coats of the arterial system in a noclal manner. The causation of this is unknown, but its peculiar affinity for wi(despread involvement of the smaller arteries results in a multiplicity of clinical signs and symptoms, and leads to confusion and difficulty in diagnosis. The more severely affected o...

Polyarteritis Nodosa

Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is the systemic necrotizing vasculitis on small and median muscular vessels. Recent studies reveal that PAN consists of classical PAN and microscopic polyangitis (MPA). MPO-ANCA, which is one of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA), is involved in the pathogenesis of MPA. In future, by the progress of research of ANCA, the definition or criteria of systemic vas...
