Similar lesions were again described independently by von Rokitansky2in 1852, but the pathologic findings were not definitely related to the clinical picture until 1866, when Kussmaul and Maier,3unaware of the work of Matani and von Rokitansky, described a protean clinical syndrome associated with nodular arterial lesions and coined the name "periarteritis nodosa." Their case was a 27 year old white man who gave a history of sudden onset of an illness characterized by muscular weakness and tenderness, paresthesias, diaphoresis, mild fever and progressive emaciation....Bibliography1.
