Localized vasculitic neuropathies are increasingly reported. We describe 3 cases of peripheral neuropathy with necrotizing vasculitis confined to nerves and muscles without systemic involvement. These neuropathies were severe and relapsing, in contrast to a usually benign prognosis. Our cases appear to be isolated vasculitic neuropathies, with vasculitis strictly limited to the peripheral neuromuscular system without nonspecific clinical and/or biological systemic involvement.
