Buerger's Disease (Thromboangiitis obliterans)

Pathogenesis
Clinical features
Pathogenesis- Cigarette smoking causes endothelial cell damage due to direct cytotoxicity or hypersensitivity

Clinical
1) Raynaud
2) Pain in instep area
3) Chronic ulcers, gangrene of digits, feet
What happens in Raynaud's Phenomenon?
White, blue, and red response
Primary Raynaud's Phenomenon is caused by
Unknown
Secondary Raynaud's Phenomenon is caused by
Arterial insufficiency due to diseases such as SLE, SS, AS, or Buerger's Disease
Difference between juvenile vs cavernous hemangiomas (port-wine stains)

Cavernous lymphangioma, occurs in neck or axilla
-Associated with Turner's Syndrome
One major cause of concern of Kawasaki disease

Giant cell arteritis affects what arteries (4)
Aortic arch
Vertebral
Ophthalmic
Temporal
Clinical features of Giant cell arteritis
1- Constitutional symptoms (fever, fatigue, weight loss)
2- Tender, nodular. temporal artery
3- Ocular features- diplopia
4- Polymyalgia rheumatica
What is Pulseless disease?
Takayasu Disease
First step when you suspect Takayasu Arteritis
Aortic Arch Angiogram
Giant cell arteritis vs Takayasu- how to tell the difference?
Takayasu- under 40 yrs and pulselessness of upper extremities, affect branches of aortic arch more
What does PAN NOT affect?
Arterioles, capillaries, venules
Pulmonary vessels

No glomerulonephritis
PAN
1- Arterioles, capillaries, venules not affected
2- Different stages of inflammation seen
3- Segmental, transmural, fibrinoid necrosis
4- No association with ANCA
-Aneurysms, renal failure, heart, bowels, skin, testicle
PAN is fatal if untreated
Notes
Differentiate PAN and Microscopic Polyangiitis
Microscopic Polyarteritis affects
1) Arterioles, capillaries, venules, glomerulonephritis is possible
2) Pulmonary capillarities/glomerulonephritis
3) p-ANCA present
4) inflammatory stages are of the SAME stage (either acute, subacute, chronic, repair)
Leukocytoclastic or hypersensitivity vasculitis (occurs in microscopic polyarteritis)
Hypersensitivity reactions with skin lesions like purpura

Pauci immune- no or few immune deposits
Pauci immune means
No or few immune deposits
