Abstract
- Wegener's granulomatosis is a multisystem necrotizing vasculitis that primarily involves the upper and lower respiratory tract and kidneys but can affect almost any organ, including the central nervous system. Cerebral infarction and intracerebral hemorrhage are rare neurologic complications of Wegener's granulomatosis. We report on a 52-year-old male patient with Wegener's granulomatosis presenting with a cerebral infarction and subsequent intracerebral hemorrhage. He was successfully treated with high dose corticosteroid and cyclophosphamide.
