Abstract
Poly arteritis nodosa (PAN) is a systemic necrotizing vasculitis that typically affects medium-sized muscular arteries and occasionally affects small muscular arteries, resulting in secondary tissue ischemia. The kidneys, skin, joints, muscles, peripheral nerves, and GI tract are most commonly affected, but any organ can be involved. However, the lungs are usually spared. We present a case with neural and peripheral vascular, cardiac and renal manifestation. ncs, biopsy done
