Early Lacunar Strokes Complicating Polyarteritis Nodosa
Neurol 54:883-889, Reichhart,M.D.,et al, 2000
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Early lacunar stroke syndrome, related to deep small- or pontine-penetrating artery thrombotic microangiopathy rather than vasculitis, was the most frequent PANAS pattern. This vasculopathy may be aggravated by corticosteroid (CS) therapy enhancement of either platelet thromboxane A-2 production or arterial wall fibrosis. Thus, antiplatelet drugs in association with CS may be advisable for preventing stroke occurrence or recurrence in PAN.
