PG - 438-40 AB - A case of Wegener's granulomatosis in a 59-year-old woman is reported. The disease first involved the parotid gland, the brain stem and the spinal cord, then running a rapidly progressive course as systemic pathology. Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (cANCA) levels raised as renal failure set in. Renal biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis and an appropriate therapy was adopted.
