ABSTRACT
Wegener's granulomatosis is a necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis with a strong affinity for the upper respiratory tract, lung and kidney. The ophthalmologic manifestation most often presents as inflammatory orbital pseudotumor or scleritis. We report a case of a 27-year-old woman with an orbital-meningeal presentation leading to a diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis.
