[Organ pathology in Wegener's granulomatosis]

The author examines changes observed in the upper respiratory tract and the ear in WG permitting its differentiation from atrophic rhinitis, ozena, malignant reticulosis, mycosis, etc. In acute WG one can often find acute otitis media complicated by facial nerve paresis. In chronic WG adhesive otitis and neurosensory hypoacusis occur more frequently.
