Wegener's granulomatosis presenting as polyneuropayhy – a case report and review of the literature.

Abstract

We report a clinical case of a young, previously well woman who presented with multiple neuropathies, both peripheral and cranial and who was subsequently confirmed to have Wegener's Granulomatosis with minimal respiratory symptoms or renal involvement. The case illustrates the difficulties in diagnosing this rare condition when the cardinal features are not present, but serves to illustrate the importance of disease identification when other, atypical sites, that have a particular preponderance for morbidity i.e. the nervous system, are involved.
