Rituximab in the Treatment of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage and Widespread Bleeding in Microscopic Polyangiitis : A Case Report.
Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by small-vessel vasculitis and the presence of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA). Typically, MPA primarily affects the respiratory system, kidneys, and skin, with infrequent involvement of the nervous system, resulting in neuropathy. However, the occurrence of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in MPA is exceedingly rare, especially when it is accompanied by hemorrhagic events in multiple organs. This case report details the clinical presentation of a 61-year-old male patient diagnosed with MPA who experienced an exceptionally uncommon occurrence of SAH, coupled with extensive bleeding manifestations including epistaxis, skin purpura, and gastrointestinal bleeding. Notably, the patient's symptoms exhibited potential improvement following a treatment regimen consisting of rituximab and glucocorticoids. This case emphasizes the critical importance of promptly recognizing and comprehensively managing rare complications in MPA patients to optimize clinical outcomes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society (J Korean Neurosurg Soc) is the official journal of the Korean Neurosurgical Society, and published bimonthly (1st day of January, March, May, July, September, and November). It launched in October 31, 1972 with Volume 1 and Number 1. J Korean Neurosurg Soc aims to allow neurosurgeons from around the world to enrich their knowledge of patient management, education, and clinical or experimental research, and hence their professionalism. This journal publishes Laboratory Investigations, Clinical Articles, Review Articles, Case Reports, Technical Notes, and Letters to the Editor. Our field of interest involves clinical neurosurgery (cerebrovascular disease, neuro-oncology, skull base neurosurgery, spine, pediatric neurosurgery, functional neurosurgery, epilepsy, neuro-trauma, and peripheral nerve disease) and laboratory work in neuroscience.
