Abstract
A 61-year-old man presented to the pulmonary clinic with symptoms of dyspnea and productive cough for the last 6 months. Within the last 2 months, he started noticing bulging of his eyes associated with blurry vision. He denied hemoptysis, fever, night sweats, weight loss, skin rash, and dry eyes or mouth. He is a former smoker, and he denied any recent travel history. The patient has a history of microscopic polyangiitis, which was treated with cyclophosphamide and mycophenolate maintenance therapy and has been in remission for the last 7 years.
