Abstract

Wegener's granulomatosis is a vasculitis which commonly presents with symptoms referable to the upper airway system, lungs, joints, eyes and kidneys. We present a case in which colitis combined with sinusitis could retrospectively be attributed as the initial manifestations of Wegener's disease.
