| ==Pathophysiology== | | ==Pathophysiology== |
| ===Large vessel vasculitis===
| |
| * [[Takayasu arteritis]] - Primarily affects the [[aorta]] and its main branches.
| |
| * [[temporal arteritis|Giant cell (temporal) arteritis]] - Chronic vasculitis of both large and medium vessels, primarily affecting cranial branches of the arteries arising from the aortic arch.
| |
|
| |
| ===Medium vessel vasculitis===
| |
| * [[Polyarteritis nodosa]] - Systemic necrotizing vasculitis and [[aneurysm]] formation affecting both medium and small arteries. If only small vessels are affected, it is called microscopic polyangiitis, although it is more associated with [[Wegener's granulomatosis]] than to classic [[PAN]].
| |
| * [[Wegener's granulomatosis]] - Systemic vasculitis of medium and small arteries, including venules and arterioles. Produces granulomatous inflammation of the respiratory tracts and necrotizing, pauci-immune glomerulonephritis. Most common cause of saddle nose deformity in USA (nose flattened due to destruction of nasal septum by granulomatous inflammation).
| |
| * [[Kawasaki disease]] - Usually in children, it affects large, medium, and small vessels, prominently the coronary arteries. Associated with a mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome.
| |
| * Isolated CNS vasculitis - Affects medium and small arteries over a diffuse CNS area, without symptomatic extracranial vessel involvement.
| |
|
| |
| ===Small vessel vasculitis===
| |
| * [[Churg-Strauss syndrome|Churg-Strauss arteritis]] - Affects medium and small vessels with vascular and extravascular granulomatosis. Classically involves arteries of lungs and skin, but may be generalized.
| |
| * [[microscopic polyangiitis|Microscopic polyarteritis/polyangiitis]] - Affects [[capillaries]], [[venules]], or [[arterioles]]. Thought to be part of a group that includes [[Wegeners]] since both are associated with [[ANCA]] and similar extrapulmonary manifestations. Patients do not usually have symptomatic or histologic respiratory involvement.
| |
| * [[Hypersensitivity vasculitis]] - Usually due to a [[hypersensitivity]] reaction to a known drug. There is presence of skin vaculitis with palpable [[petechiae]] or [[purpura]]. Biopsy of these lesions reveal inflammation of the small vessels, termed leukocytoclastic vasculitis, which is most prominent in postcapillary venules.
| |
| * [[Henoch-Schonlein purpura]] - Systemic vasculitis due to tissue deposition of [[IgA]]-containing immune complexes. Biopsy of lesions shows inflammation of small vessels. It is considered a form of hypersensitivity vasculitis but is distinguished by prominent deposits of IgA. This is the most common vasculitis in children.
| |
| * [[Essential cryoglobulinemic vasculitis]] - Most often due to [[hepatitis C infection]], immune complexes of [[cryoglobulins]] --- proteins that consists of [[immunoglobulins]] and [[complement]] and precipitate in the cold while dissolving upon rewarming --- are deposited in walls of capillaries, venules, or arterioles.
| |
| * Vasculitis secondary to connective tissue disorders - Usually secondary to [[lupus erythematosus| systemic lupus erythematosus]] (SLE), [[rheumatoid arthritis]] (RA), relapsing [[polychondritis]], [[Behcet's disease]], and other connective tissue disorders.
| |
| * Vasculitis secondary to viral infection
