 ==Pathophysiology==
-===Large vessel vasculitis===
-* [[Takayasu arteritis]] - Primarily affects the [[aorta]] and its main branches.
-* [[temporal arteritis|Giant cell (temporal) arteritis]] - Chronic vasculitis of both large and medium vessels, primarily affecting cranial branches of the arteries arising from the aortic arch.
-===Medium vessel vasculitis===
-* [[Polyarteritis nodosa]] - Systemic necrotizing vasculitis and [[aneurysm]] formation affecting both medium and small arteries. If only small vessels are affected, it is called microscopic polyangiitis, although it is more associated with [[Wegener's granulomatosis]] than to classic [[PAN]].
-* [[Wegener's granulomatosis]] - Systemic vasculitis of medium and small arteries, including venules and arterioles. Produces granulomatous inflammation of the respiratory tracts and necrotizing, pauci-immune glomerulonephritis. Most common cause of saddle nose deformity in USA (nose flattened due to destruction of nasal septum by granulomatous inflammation).
