angiopathic neuropathy

angiopathic neuropathy
neuropathy caused by arteritis of the blood vessels supplying the nerves. It is usually a systemic complication of diseases such as Wegener granulomatosis, temporal arteritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic scleroderma, and polyarteritis nodosa; occasional nonsystemic cases occur in the form of a mononeuropathy that is more indolent than the systemic forms.
