Vasculitic neuropathy is a peripheral neuropathic disease.[1][2][3] In a vasculitic neuropathy there is damage to the vessels that supply blood to the nerves.[1][2][3] It can be as part of a systemic problem or can exist as a single-organ issue only affecting the peripheral nervous system (PNS).[1][2][3] It is diagnosed with the use of electrophysiological testing, blood tests, nerve biopsy and clinical examination. It is a serious medical condition that can cause prolonged morbidity and disability and generally requires treatment. Treatment depends on the type but it is mostly with corticosteroids or immunomodulating therapies.
