Аннотация

Wegener's granulomatosis (WG), also termed granulomatosis with polyangiitis, is a vasculitic condition with numerous systemic manifestations. It is mainly a pauci-immune vasculitis which involves small and medium-sized vessels. Herein, we report a case of a 72-year-old female with a background history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension. She presented to the hospital with recurrent nasal congestion, headache, and intermittent facial pain for two months' duration. At the initial presentation, she was diagnosed with pansinusitis, for which she was treated with antibiotics and was discharged. Two weeks later, she presented with progressively worsening bilateral lower limb numbness and weakness for one week's duration. With serial investigations, she was diagnosed with WG and was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone along with cyclophosphamide, after which she made a significant improvement in her clinical status.
