[Polyarteritis nodosa as a cause of sensory motor polyneuropathy.Apropos of a case].

We present a case of nodose polyarteritis (NPA) in a 65-years-old man with clinical manifestations at the level of the peripherical nervous system (PNS) as a subacute sensorimotor polyneuropathy. We believe that this is an interesting case due to the outlined symptomatology and the first clinical signs, not as common as the multiple mononeuropathy. The diagnosis was established through biopsy of muscle-nerve, without observing aneurysms at the Divas and with negative results for the Hepatitis B markers. Response to corticoid and immunosuppressive therapy was positive.

[Dyspnea as the first clinical manifestation of amyloidosis].

We present a case of a 65-year-old woman, in whom diagnosis of primary systemic amyloidosis was established, being dyspnea the main cause of consultation. In addition, we emphasize the importance of the adequate valorization of such symptom in a patient with no precedents of cardiorespiratory pathology.

[Brain lesions in patient diagnosed of meningitis].

INTRODUCTION: Streptococcus pneumoniae is responsible for most community acquired bacterial meningitis in adults. During the course of meningitis, the development of a new neurological focality can be a sign of an associated complication such as cerebritis. CLINICAL CASE: We report a case of pneumococcal meningitis in a 40 year old woman who reported blurred vision one week after hospital admission. Ophthalmologic exploration was normal. Brain MR images showed areas of cerebritis. CONCLUSION: Cerebritis is a rare complication of pneumococcal meningitis. We discuss the differential diagnosis and the utility of the different imaging techniques.
