Periarteritis Nodosa Affecting the Eye.

The heart in periarteritis nodosa.

IN PERIARTERITIS NODOSA the cardiae lesions contribute greatly to the manifestations of the disease and often are directly responsible for the death of the patient. The purpose of this study is to doeument the cardiac lesions of periarteritis nodosa, to review the clinical manifestations of this condition referable to the heart, and to relate the clinical manifestations to the pathologic lesions.

Corneo-scleral ulceration in periarteritis nodosa.

OCULAR complications occur in 10 to 20 per cent. of patients with periarteritis nodosa (Gaynon and Asbury, 1943; Wise, 1952), but so far very few cases of either corneal ulceration, corneo-scleritis, or scleritis have been documented, which have been associated with either periarteritis nodosa or the Wegener variety of non-healing granuloma of the nose (Harbert and McPherson, 1947; Ingalls, 195...

In both patients a localised serous retinal detachment and lesions of the retinal pigment epithelium had developed owing to choroidal vascular obstruction. These cases support the suggested possible relationship between the two conditions.
