Both central and peripheral nervous system complications are frequent and varied in vasculitides associated with connective tissue disorders. In many cases the neurological disorders have a typical clinical course or even an early onset that all clinicians should be aware of them. The neurological manifestations are mainly caused by direct effect of the connective tissue diseases, as well as side effects of corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive therapies. The purpose of this short review is to update the major neurological disorders in various vasculitides, accurate diagnosis and management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
