Polyneuropathy due to polyangiitis overlap syndrome.
Abstract
A patient presented with a mild polyneuropathy, developed a large intra-abdominal haemorrhage and died of cardiac arrest within a few days. Microscopic examination revealed a polyangiitis overlap syndrome (Fauci) with lesions in many organs, including the peripheral nerves and the heart. A myocarditis was considered to be the cause of death.
