Abstract

Here we describe the case of a 38-year-old man with a history of ischemic transient attacks and strokes from the age of 9 years, livedo reticularis, asymmetrical sensorimotor neuropathy, optic neuritis, testicular ischemia, digital ulcers, ulcerative colitis, and diastolic hypertension. Disease course was characterized by severe disease bouts treated with high-dose intravenous (IV) glucocorticoid (GC) pulse therapy, short periods of paucisymptomatic disease, and inability to taper GCs despite the use of traditional oral and IV immunosuppressants, interferon, and plasmapheresis.
