Abstract:
Wegener's granuloma occurs most commonly in upper respiratory tract, in lungs and in kidneys. In many cases ocular and orbital disturbances may be accompanied by changes in the nose and sinuses. These disturbances occur as: superior orbital fissure syndrome, orbital apex syndrome or ocular fascicle atrophy. The authors present the symptoms of these disturbances in 3 patients treated at Otolaryngological Clinic, Medical University of Gdańsk. On the bases of clinical symptoms and radiological results (CT and MRI) the assessment of pathogenesis of ocular and orbital symptoms was made in each of these cases, with special regard to the mode and result of the treatment.
