The spectrum of neurologic involvement in Wegener's granulomatosis

Neurology. 1993 Jul;43(7):1334-7. doi: 10.1212/wnl.43.7.1334.

Abstract

Four patients with Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) presented with unique neurologic manifestations. On initial presentation, these patients had multiple mononeuropathy, multiple cranial neuropathy, myelopathy, and cerebritis. This series demonstrates that WG can present with a spectrum of neurologic manifestations.
