[Vasculitic neuropathy in Wegener granulomatosis: case report]

The neurologic involvement during Wegener granulomatosis reaches 15-50% of patients, however as initial symptomatology is not commented in the literature. We describe a patient with Wegener's granulomatosis and mononeuritis multiplex, emphasizing the fact that neurologic manifestations anticipated systemic symptoms, and also focusing on the diagnostic contribution of sural biopsy and the good outcome of neurologic disease.
