OBJECTIVE
The objective of this article is to report a rare case of headache as the initial symptom of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and to review the recent literature.
BACKGROUND
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis is a rare, systemic, autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. GPA has a wide
The aims of this study were to estimate the frequency of central nervous system (CNS) involvement in Greek patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and describe the related clinical characteristics and long-term outcomes of these patients. Medical charts of all ANCA-associated vasculitis
We report a 62-year-old man with mild fever, headache and acute visual loss in his right eye due to anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (AION), followed a few days later by pain in the legs and left arm associated with numbness and weakness. Giant cell arteritis complicated by AION was suspected at
Central nervous system (CNS) involvement in granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), including pachymeningitis and CNS vasculitis, is uncommon. Although intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has been reported in GPA, simultaneous multiple ICH (SMICH) is rare. We describe the case of a 50-year-old woman with
We report a rare case of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) presenting with hypertrophic cranial pachymeningitis (HCP), abducens nerve palsy, and stenosis of the internal carotid artery (ICA). A 59-year-old Japanese man presented with a year history of nasal obstruction and a 2-month history of
BACKGROUND
Systemic histoplasmosis is an invasive fungal infection that may mimic primary vasculitis, particularly granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), and was rarely described in adult patients. We reported an immunocompetent patient with disseminated histoplasmosis mimicking GPA who fulfilled
We report a case of bilateral acute angle-closure glaucoma in a patient with undiagnosed granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's). A 59-year-old man presented with a severe headache, ocular pain, blurred vision, shortness of breath, and mild fever. Clinical examination revealed conjunctival
BACKGROUND
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), a necrotizing granulomatous disease, very rarely involves the central nervous system (CNS), particularly the pituitary. Delayed treatment may cause permanent bilateral blindness. We report an isolated case of pituitary GPA that manifested as a
Wegener granulomatosis (WG) is a cytoplasmic antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (c-ANCA)-associated, multi-system, necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis. Inflammation of the nasal or oral mucosa, and lung and kidney involvements are typical in the course of the disease. In rare cases, pituitary
The precise cause of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) remains unclear. Herein we present a case of refractory GPA occurring after trauma.A 43-year-old man suffered fractures of the left orbital in an accident, and then received surgical repair. At a A 56-year-old man complained of headache and the analgesia of the four extremities. Laboratory data presented signs of inflammation, but no other abnormality such as renal or respiratory dysfunction. Two months after the appearance of the primary symptoms, he developed cerebral infarction of the
Headache is a common symptom in patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) mainly due to chronic sinusitis or orbital disease. Meningeal involvement may thus remain unrecognized for a long time. This can lead to a significant delay in accurate diagnosis, serious local damage of the central
BACKGROUND
Most patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA ; Churg-Strauss syndrome) suffer from peripheral neuropathy. The neuropathy affects ADLs in not only the active stage, but also the remission stage of EGPA. Recently, high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin therapy (IVIg)
