Abstract
- Polyarteritis nodosa(PAN) is a multisystemic disease primarily involving the small and medium- sized vessels. Prognosis depends on the presence and severity of visceral involvement. Gastrioin- testinal involvement in PQN may result in vague abdominal pain, nausea and melena. Angio- graphy can be used to establish a diagnosis of PAN. We report a case of polyarteritis nodosa presenting with recurrent abdominal pain, melena and vomiting, which was diagnosed by celiac angiography, and treated with prednisloln.
