“…There are studies that consider the PNS involvement as infrequent and mainly subclinical, with a prevalence ranging from 5% to 27%. 1,6,[16][17][18][19] No PN was found in systemic sclerosis, according to what is reported in the bibliography (1%). 1,20,21 Even though it was considered one of the connective tissue disorders with the least neurological compromise, recent studies suggest that NPs are more frequent than expected.…”

“…Other studies show variable results (20%-60%). 1,[5][6][7][8] In RA, 14% of the patients presented inflammatory PN, the prevalence reported in the bibliography being 1% to 10%. 6 This neuropathy is associated with necrotizing rheumatoid vasculitis such as PAN, and it usually appears as a complication of the RA, with a higher biological aggressiveness and a long evolution.…”

“…Several authoritative reviews have discussed present knowledge on systemic and nonsystemic vasculitis affecting the PNS. 50,71,176 Clinical Features. Clinically, nonsystemic vasculitic neuropathy does not differ from peripheral nerve involvement in generalized vasculitis, and typically presents with pain and sensorimotor deficits in one or more peripheral nerves.…”

“…These mostly revealed axonal degenerative changes without signs of inflammation [6,7,28], which provides little pathological evidence for the concept of an immune mediated axonal neuropathy [18]. In two patients perivascular infiltrates were observed [10], which could indicate that the peripheral nerve vasculature serves as an immunological target similar to vasculitic neuropathy [41]. Moreover, it is well known that nerve biopsy specimens do not always unequivocally demonstrate vasculitis even if vasculitic neuropathy is the most likely diagnosis, for instance in patients with a systemic vasculitis and a neuropathy [8,9,11,12,25,51].…”
