Abstract

In the protean clinical pattern of the Schoenlein-Henoch syndrome the central and peripheral nervous system signs and symptoms are of most uncertain epidemiological importance and of most debatable physiopathological status. In the case reported the contribution of nuclear magnetic resonance to the diagnosis proved to be greater than that of computed tomography because it imaged the CNS lesions.

Sommario

Nell'ambito delle multiformi varietà di espressione clinica della sindrome di Schoenlein-Henoch i segni ed i sintomi a carico del sistema nervoso centrale e periferico sono quelli di più incerta rilevanza epidemiologica e di più discussa interpretazione fisiopatologica. Nel caso clinico riportato il contributo diagnostico della Risonanza Magnetica Nucleare si è dimostrato superiore a quello della Tomografia Computerizzata per la dimostrazione delle lesionia carico del SNC.
