Small fiber neuropathy associated with ANCA positivity: a case series and brief literature review.

This is the first series of patients with suspected immune-mediated SFN and ANCA antibody positivity, raising the possibility of ANCA mediated isolated SFN. This is in contradistinction to the more typical ANCA-mediated peripheral neuropathy manifestations of mononeuropathy multiplex or axonal sensorimotor neuropathy. We cannot unequivocally prove ANCA-associated vasculitis [AAV] causality in these cases; however, the stabilization in SFN symptomatology and associated improvement in ANCA antibody titer, after AAV treatment, may be indicative of an association.
