Download or read book Peripheral Nerve Disorders written by Alexander F.J.E. Vrancken and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-08-17 with total page 1008 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vasculitis is a primary phenomenon in autoimmune diseases such as polyarteritis nodosa, Wegener’s granulomatosis, Churg–Strauss syndrome, microscopic polyangiitis, and essential mixed cryoglobulinemia. As a secondary feature vasculitis may complicate, for example, connective tissue diseases, infections, malignancies, and diabetes. Vasculitic neuropathy is a consequence of destruction of the vessel wall and occlusion of the vessel lumen of small epineurial arteries. Sometimes patients present with nonsystemic vasculitic neuropathy, i.e., vasculitis limited to peripheral nerves and muscles with no evidence of further systemic involvement. Treatment with corticosteroids, sometimes in combination with other immunosuppressants, is required to control the inflammatory process and prevent further ischemic nerve damage.

Download or read book The Neurologic Involvement in Systemic Autoimmune Diseases written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-11-05 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Systemic autoimmune diseases can affect both the central and peripheral nervous systems in a myriad of ways and through a heterogeneous number of mechanisms leading to many different clinical manifestations. As a result, neurological complications of these disorders can result in significant morbidity and mortality. Advances in the diagnosis, laboratory investigations, and management of these conditions has placed an increasing burden on the practicing clinician to correctly assess and treat these patients. This volume of the Handbook of the Systemic Autoimmune Diseases will help the clinician and researcher better understand the current concepts of nervous system involvement from systemic autoimmune disorders, recognize current approaches to diagnosis and treatment, current controversies, and areas that need significant research efforts. It is believed that providing this approach in a single volume will facilitate its use as a frequent resource for all those caring for or investigating these patients and their diseases. Each chapter follows a consistent outline to provide the reader with important and useful information in an easy-to-navigate manner and is also liberally referenced to provide more primary source material for further consideration. The standardized approach to each chapter will allow the reader to be able to compare and contrast more efficiently the neurological complications of the autoimmune diseases discussed.
