Systemic vasculitis (SV) is a group of diseases united by the presence of inflammation of the vascular wall. Neurological manifestations may occur at the onset of SV or at the stage of multiple organ damage. Diagnosis of central and peripheral nervous system lesions in ANCA-associated vasculitis is based on neurological examination data and the results of laboratory and instrumental research methods.
