introduction: wegener granulomatosis is a rare multisystemic disease with an unknown cause, characterized by necrotic granulomatous lesions in respiratory tract, systemic vasculitis in small arteries and veins and necrotizing glomerulonephritis. wegener can affect any organ including kidneys, eyes or other organs but classically affects upper and lower respiratory tract. one of the rare but imp...

Introduction Wegener granulomatosis is a systemic vasculitis affecting small and medium-sized vessels of the upper and lower respiratory tract and kidneys. Objective To describe a case of Wegener disease with atypical manifestation. Resumed Report We describe the case of a 50-year-old woman with chronic otitis media and sensorineural hearing loss as the primary symptoms, without other manifesta...

purpose: to report two cases of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (gpa) presented ocular manifestations. cases report: we report two cases of scleritis with red eye, one of them was a 30 years old female patient with saddle nose and positive c-anca and the other one was a 56 year-old female patient with lung cavitation and positive c-anca. both cases undergone corticosteroid and immunosuppressiv...

Wegener granulomatosis is a multisystemic disorder characterized by necrotizing vasculitis that primarily involves the respiratory tract. The orbits, heart, skin, joints, and nervous system are frequently involved. We describe the MR imaging findings of Wegener granulomatosis in the cervical spine and correlate them with the histopathologic features. MR imaging showed epidural liquid masses sur...

Wegener granulomatosis is a well-studied yet sometimes difficult-to-diagnose systemic vasculitis. Early treatment with immunosuppressants is the therapy of choice and usually controls the disease. Two cases of Wegener granulomatosis are presented, both with symptoms and imaging findings suggestive of a malignant tumor of the nasopharynx or skull base. The focus of upper respiratory involvement ...
