Las vasculitis asociadas a anticuerpos contra el citoplasma del neutrófilo configuran patologías multisistémicas caracterizadas por afectar pequeños vasos. Se ha reportado compromiso de sistema nervioso central en 2% a 8% de los casos, rara vez al inicio del cuadro clínico. Se reporta el caso de un hombre de 67 años de edad con vasculitis p-ANCA, quien debutó con proptosis, paquimeningitis y disfagia severa. Posteriormente deterioro renal, necesidad de hemodiálisis, ciclofosfamida y recambio plasmático terapéutico con lo cual alcanza criterios de remisión parcial y egresa de diálisis. Las vasculitis ANCA se relacionan con una amplia gama de signos y síntomas inespecíficos. La edad de aparición, creatinina inicial y requerimiento de diálisis, son factores pronósticos. El inicio oportuno del tratamiento es fundamental, requiriendo por tanto un alto índice de sospecha

Mild deficit of proximal strength in the lower limbs. Not sensory levels. He was able to walk on points and heels. Laboratory examination revealed white blood count 28.5 × 10 9 (eosinophils 61%); C-reactive protein level was 62 mg/dL (normally 0.0-5.0 mg/dL); creatine kinase and transaminase levels was increased, respectively 62 mg/dL and 93 mg/dL. Chest x-ray and head computed tomography scan were normal. The patient was admitted in the neurological ward. Blood exams confirmed leukocytosis with hypereosinophilia. Serum tests were positive for ANCA. Nerve conduction studies showed a neurogenic suffering of the investigated muscles, compatible with axonal motor nerve distress with blocks of motor conduction and sensory axonal suffering with asymmetric distribution; these findings were suggestive of multiplex mononeuritis. Nerve biopsy showed features of axonopathy. Muscle biopsy showed a picture with features of eosinophilic vasculitis. Spirometry was normal, with a FEV1/FVC rate of 77% of predicted. He was treated with intravenous methyl-prednisolone and Cyclophosphamide, followed by maintenance with azathioprine. After some days of therapy a blood exam control showed: White blood count 20.5 × 10 9 (eosinophils 5%); C-reactive protein level 5 mg/dL; creatine kinase levels 51 mg/dL, and transaminase levels 30 mg/dL. Patient improved and there was no recurrence of symptoms since about two years of follow-up.
