Abstract :
[en] A 49 year old woman was admitted because of general poor health condition having lasted for 15 days and been associated for 6 months with sinusitis. During hospitalisation, she developed thrombosis of the retina central artery and signs of cerebral vasculitis. A diagnosis of Wegener disease was suggested based on one side on the presence of multiple excavated pulmonary macronodules and, on the other side, on the signs of cerebral vasculitis. No renal dysfunction was documented in our patient. The detection of serum antineutrophil antibodies (c-ANCA and anti-PR3) confirmed the diagnosis of Wegener disease without the need of surgical pulmonary biopsy. In addition to the typical ENT and pulmonary symptoms, this particular clinical presentation of unusual ocular and cerebral symptoms, reminds us that Wegener disease is a vasculitis that can give multisystemic disorders.
