Rheumatoid vasculitis, an extra-articular component of rheumatoid arthritis, causes a wide spectrum of manifestations that range from clinically insignificant to life-threatening disease. As a systemic necrotizing arteritis, rheumatoid vasculitis is usually characterized by end-organ ischemia.
We report a case of combined small and large intestinal infarction caused by rheumatoid vasculitis in a 60-yr-old man who had a long history of rheumatoid arthritis and presented with abdominal pain and constipation. Eventually, he developed signs of peritonitis and underwent exploratory laparotomy
Rheumatoid vasculitis is a relatively uncommon complication of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It shows wide variety of extra-articular features including skin and neurologic involvement, but rarely shows gastrointestinal involvement. We describe a 79-old-man of rheumatoid vasculitis manifesting as small
A 58-year-old male with an 8-year history of seropositive erosive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) presented with acute abdominal pain and syncope; a diagnosis of vasculitis was made arteriographically by finding intrarenal saccular aneurysms. Patients with severe RA and a high titer of rheumatoid factor
Vasculitis secondary to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) usually occurs in patients with high circulating titres of rheumatoid factor and established, chronic disease. Vasculitis of the gallbladder causing acute cholecystitis is an extremely rare manifestation of rheumatoid vasculitis. To our knowledge,
A 69-year-old woman with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis since the age of 54 developed severe abdominal pain, and laparotomy was performed. Due to perforation of the ileum, there was generalised peritonitis. The histological examination showed mesenteric rheumatoid arteritis. Only a few cases like
Both rheumatoid vasculitis and amyloidosis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are uncommon. We describe a patient in whom they occurred together and were associated with fatal intra-abdominal hemorrhage. A 56-year-old Caucasian woman was referred because of increasing lethargy, edema, and proteinuria. She
Background: Despite identifying numerous factors associated with colonic ischemia, the relative risk has been variable and not thoroughly evaluated. Hence, we aimed to quantify the risk of diseases and medications associated with ischemic
