Abstract

We describe an atypical neurologic presentation of Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) with striking meningeal and cerebral involvement, responding to immunosuppressive therapy. WG may cause treatable intracranial complications in the absence of nasal or renal disease and without cerebral angiographic abnormalities, CSF pleocytosis, or a positive assay for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies.
