    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Rheumatology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Wegener's granulomatosis is a rare autoimmune disease.
    • It affects multiple organ systems, often the respiratory tract and kidneys.
    • Diverse clinical manifestations can delay diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical manifestations of Wegener's granulomatosis.
    • To identify less common areas of organ involvement.
    • To emphasize the role of otolaryngologists in early diagnosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 108 patients diagnosed with Wegener's granulomatosis.
    • Analysis of clinical data, including symptoms and affected organs.
    • Evaluation of diagnostic and treatment pathways.

    Main Results:

    • Confirmed diverse clinical presentations of Wegener's granulomatosis.
    • Identified several less commonly recognized sites of disease involvement.
    • Highlighted the high frequency of nasal and sinus involvement.
    • Demonstrated the significant role of otolaryngologic symptoms in initial presentation.

    Conclusions:

    • Wegener's granulomatosis exhibits a broad spectrum of clinical features.
    • Otolaryngologists are vital for the early detection of Wegener's granulomatosis due to frequent head and neck manifestations.
    • Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential for managing this condition.
