The vasculitides are a heterogenous group of multisystemic disorders that are pathologically characterized by inflammation of the blood vessels, structural damage to vessels, and usually vascular necrosis. Because involvement of blood vessels can result from inflammation of any type, vasculitis may be a presentation of diverse disorders. Vasculitis can occur either as a primary vasculitic disease or secondarily to another underlying pathology (1-3). Vasculitis of the nervous system is both a diagnostic and management challenge for clinicians. Both the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) may be involved in the vasculitic process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
