Abstract EN
A 27-year-old woman was admitted for intractable right-sided neck, ear, and jaw pain with gradual development of tinnitus and hearing loss.
A cerebral MRI showed meningo-dural enhancement, and additional diagnostic workup revealed a right pulmonary infiltrate and positive PR-3 ANCA.
Biopsies from nasal mucosa and lung showed chronic inflammation with granuloma formation.
Based on these findings the patient was diagnosed with Wegener's granulomatosis with pachymeningitis.
There was no clinical response to oral Prednisolone and Cyclophosphamide, but complete clinical and imaging remission was achieved by adding Rituximab.
