ANCA-associated vasculitis causing nasopalatal destruction
Abstract:
Autoimmune disorders and their manifestations can be very problematic to diagnose and manage. The symptoms can be ambiguous and debilitating. Early intervention is necessary to counter the unforgiving consequences of delayed intervention, such as loss of sight or hearing and destruction of affected tissues. Vasculitis in the head and neck region is rare. A case of ANCA-associated vasculitis causing extensive destruction is presented to enhance our understanding of this devastating multisystem disorder.
