The patient did not have any history of smoking, allergies, Raynaud's phenomenon or any similar complaints neither in the past nor anyone had them in the family. The patient had received anti-coagulants from local hospital but no beneficial effects were achieved. Pulse was regular, symmetrical and comparable in the upper limbs but absent in the lower limbs. In the left foot there were necrotic changes (dry gangrene) up to heel and in the right foot first three toes were involved up to MP joints. Rest of the examination was unremarkable. CBC showed Hb 9.8<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>g/dL, WBC 13,200/uL, platelets 232,000/uL. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 44<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm/h.

CXR, echocardiography and abdominal ultrasound were unremarkable. CT angiography showed multiple filling defects in the segmental branches of left renal artery with small left kidney, a filling defect in the distal 6<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cm of abdominal aorta extending upto both common iliac arteries and collateral flow was seen from superior mesenteric artery to external iliac artery. Filling defects were seen in left tibio peroneal trunk and in right distal femoral artery along with gradual attenuation of right anterior tibialis artery and absent dorsalis pedis (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>B). Diagnosis of PAN was made on the tissue diagnosis taken from the involved skin (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>C). The patient received iv steroids which improved the symptoms and halted the disease process but transmetatarsal amputation of left foot was done as dry gangrene converted into wet gangrene.

The patient also received a trial of anti-coagulants but no benefit was achieved. However, as the disease process progressed bowel and renal involvement became obvious which led to suspicion of systemic vasculitis. Arteriogram and biopsy revealed features suggesting PAN and the patient satisfied following 4 out of 10 points of American college of Rheumatology criteria for diagnosing PAN: weight loss >4<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>kg, evidence of vasculitis on biopsy of small and medium sized vessels, elevated serum creatinine and arteriographic abnormalities.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0110"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> Although distal part of descending aorta was involved which is not usually involved in PAN, other evidences overwhelmed the possibility of any other diagnosis.

It can involve any system of the body, but lungs are typically spared. PAN typically presents with non-specific symptoms, such as fever, weight loss and myalgias, and symptoms related to the system involved. Negative serum ANCA helps in differentiating it from other similarly presenting vasculitis and definitive diagnosis is made on histopathology. Limb ischaemia is a rare presentation as well as a rare complication of PAN. We present the case of a 28-year-old female who presented with severe lower limb ischaemia and intermittent leg claudication as initial symptoms which led to initial diagnosis of critical limb ischaemia. Later in the course of the illness she developed gastrointestinal symptoms and weight loss. She was diagnosed as having PAN based on laboratory results and histopathological evidence. Intravenous steroids halted the progress of the disease, but the patient required transmetatarsal amputation of the foot to remove dead tissue. Vasculitis like PAN, although much rarer than atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease (PVD), should be considered as a differential diagnosis in cases of limb ischaemia in which there is lack of risk factors for PVD.</p></span>" ] "es" => array:2 [ "titulo" => "Resumen" "resumen" => "<span id="abst0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><p id="spar0010" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">La poliarteritis nudosa (PAN) es una forma rara de vasculitis que afecta a las arterias de mediano y pequeño calibre.

La PAN cursa normalmente con síntomas no específicos tales como fiebre, pérdida de peso y mialgias, y los síntomas relacionados con el sistema afectado. Los ANCA séricos negativos ayudan a diferenciarla de otras vasculitis con presentación similar, realizándose el diagnóstico definitivo mediante histopatología. La isquemia de las extremidades es una presentación inusual y una complicación rara de la PAN. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 28 años con isquemia en las piernas y claudicación intermitente de la pierna como síntomas iniciales, que condujo a un diagnóstico inicial de isquemia crítica de las extremidades. Posteriormente, en el curso de la enfermedad, desarrolló síntomas gastrointestinales y pérdida de peso. Se diagnosticó PAN, sobre la base de las pruebas de laboratorio y la evidencia histopatológica. La administración intravenosa de esteroides interrumpió el progreso de la enfermedad, pero la paciente precisó amputación transmetatarsiana del pie para eliminar el tejido muerto. Las vasculitis de tipo PAN, aunque son mucho más infrecuentes que la enfermedad vascular periférica (EVP), deberán considerarse como diagnóstico diferencial en los casos de isquemia de las extremidades, en las que no existieran factores de riesgo de EVP.</p></span>" ] ] "multimedia" => array:1 [ 0 => array:7 [ "identificador" => "fig0005" "etiqueta" => "Fig. 1" "tipo" => "MULTIMEDIAFIGURA" "mostrarFloat" => true "mostrarDisplay" => false "figura" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "imagen" => "gr1.jpeg" "Alto" => 1532 "Ancho" => 1500 "Tamanyo" => 257512 ] ] "descripcion" => array:1 [ "en" => "<p id="spar0015" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">A: Dry Gangrene of left foot converted into wet gangrene demanding for transmetatarsal amputation.
