The Ocular Pathology of Periarteritis Nodosa

Polyarteritis Nodosa with Ophthalmic and Neurological Complications

“…In the present case, however, the changes are particularly marked and had occurred in a young subject without arteriosclerotic changes in the larger arteries. Goldstein and Wexler's (1929) case had marked abdominal signs. It is reasonable to assume that the infarcts, large and small, were the result of the sclerosis of these numerous small arteries.…”

“…Thereafter little was heard of it until Hassen and Knack (1917) reported several cases of nephritis with or without albu¬ minurie retinopathy in which they found unexplained inflammatory lesions in the choroidal vessels of the eye. Then Goldstein and Wexler (1929) reported the first complete study with photomicrographs of intraocular lesions in polyarteritis, and this work was followed by that of Friedenwald and Rones ( 1931 ) and Helpern and Trubek (1933). Christeller (1926) described inflammatory changes in the choroid in polyarteritis.…”

Ophthalmoskopischer Befund bei 3 Patienten mit Panarteriitis nodosa und Literaturübersicht12

“…Entzündliche Netz-bzw. Aderhautbefunde bei PAN wurden in zahlreichen Publikationen beschrieben [4,13,12,14,15,16,17,18,21,24,26,33,35,38,40]. Schlussfolgerung: Unsere Patienten zeigen, dass das Auftreten eines entzündlichen ophthalmoskopischen Befundes Anlass sein sollte, nach vaskulitischen Systemerkrankungen zu fahnden.…”
