Abstract:
A case of a Wegener's granulomatosis with severe retinitis and anterior uveitis is presented. The diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis was based on the clinical features and on histologic findings of multiple lesions. Anterior uveitis and severe retinitis developed in both eyes, resulting in decreased visual acuity. This case indicates that thorough examinations of the ocular fundus should be performed routinely during the follow-up of patients with Wegener's granulomatosis.
