Nonsystemic vasculitic neuropathy
A 21-year-old female born of nonconsanguineous marriage presented with gradually progressive quadriplegia for 3 years. Weakness was distal more than proximal, with wasting. She also had moderate pain in extremities. She had significant weight loss. Clinically, she had lower motor neuron flaccid quad...
