Mononeuritis multiplex as a presenting feature of Wegener granulomatosis: a case report.

Abstract

We report the case of a man presenting with clinical features of a mononeuritis multiplex, a perinuclear-ANCA (p-ANCA), and a renal biopsy suggestive of Wegener granulomatosis (WG). We wish to highlight this case as a learning point for clinicians as WG rarely presents in this form, and can be easily overlooked as a cause of mononeuritis multiplex.
