A neuropatia vasculítica tem início agudo ou subagudo, ocorre mais frequentemente com a idade e é caracterizada por uma neuropatia multifocal frequentemente dolorosa (mononeurite múltipla). Há preferência pelos nervos fibular, tibial posterior, ulnar, mediano e radial. Também são as plexopatias vasculíticas mais frequentes no plexo lombossacral do que no plexo braquial. A neuropatia vasculítica costuma aparecer em conjunto com características sistêmicas como perda de peso e mal-estar. A vasculite é caracterizada por inflamação epineural, frequentemente necrose e inflamação da parede do vaso, seguida por perda axonal e lesões fasciculares irregulares. O tratamento com corticosteroides, às vezes em combinação com outros imunossupressores, é necessário para controlar o processo inflamatório e prevenir danos nervosos isquêmicos adicionais. | |||

Vasculitic neuropathy has an acute or subacute onset, occurs more frequently with age and is characterised by an often painful multifocal neuropathy (mononeuritis multiplex). There is a preference for peroneal, posterior tibial, ulnar, median and radial nerves. Also are vasculitic plexopathies more frequent in the lumbosacral than in the brachial plexus. Vasculitic neuropathy appears often in conjunction with systemic features as weight loss and malaise. The vasculitis is characterised by epineurial inflammation, often vessel wall necrosis and inflammation, followed by axonal loss, and patchy fascicular lesions. Treatment with corticosteroids, sometimes in combination with other immunosuppressants, is required to control the inflammatory process and prevent further ischemic nerve damage. | |||
