Periarteritis nodosa and subperiosteal new bone formation.

Polyarteritis nodosa with new bone formation.

Polyarteritis nodosa was first described as a clinico-pathological entity by Kussmaul and Maier ( 1866), who called it periarteritis nodosa. Ferrari (1903) first called the disease polyarteritis nodosa, a name that describes the pathology more accurately. The disease may be grouped with the collagen diseases-desseminated lupus erythematosis, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis and others. It is c...

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...

Systemic vasculitis with bilateral perirenal haemorrhage in chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia.

The cases of two patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia associated with periarteritis nodosa-like, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody negative, systemic vasculitis, are reported. A 61 year old man was admitted with fever, diffuse myalgia, and abdominal pain. Blood and bone marrow examination showed chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia. Vasculitis of the gall bladder was responsible for aca...
