Granulomatosis of polyangiitis (GPA) is a multisystem necrotizing vasculitis, which affects small- and medium-sized blood vessels and characterized by frequent involvement of the upper and lower respiratory tract and kidneys. Altough anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are higly associated with GPA and play an important role in the pathogenesis of this disease, ANCA positivity is not essential for clinical diagnosis. We describe a patient with ANCA-negative granulamatosis of polyangiitis involving cerebellum, having complaints due to sinusitis.
肉芽肿性多血管炎(GPA)是一种多系统坏死性血管炎,累及中小血管,以上下呼吸道和肾脏频繁受累为特征。虽然抗中性粒细胞胞浆抗体(ANCA)与GPA高度相关且在该疾病的发病机制中起重要作用,但ANCA阳性并非临床诊断所必需。我们描述了一名患有累及小脑的ANCA阴性肉芽肿性多血管炎患者,因鼻窦炎而出现症状。
