Resumen

La enfermedad de Wegener es una vasculitis granulomatosa necrotizante que típicamente afecta al tracto respiratorio superior e inferior y al riñón, y con mayor rareza a los pequeños vasos de otras localizaciones, pudiendo existir formas generalizadas y otras localizadas. Presentamos tres casos atípicos. Los dos primeros como formas limitadas de la enfermedad, uno con afectación sólo de la vía aérea y el otro como forma inusual de otitis con afectación progresiva de los pares craneales I,II, V, VI, VII y VIII. El tercero como forma generalizada con sinusitis y pseudotumor orbitario. Durante el largo seguimiento mantenido de los dos primeros casos, de 22 y 14 años respectivamente, no han presentado ninguna otra localización de esta enfermedad.

Abstract

Wegener´s granulomatosis may appear with the classic granulomatous necrotizing vasculitis affecting both high and low airway and renal glomerule, and rarely small vessels in any other location. In this way we may find generalized and localized forms of the disease. Three atypical cases of the disease are reported. The first one as a limited form with only airway affection. The second one as an unusual case of otitis with progressive affection of I, II, V, VI, VII and VIII cranial nerves. The third one was a generalized case with sinusitis and orbital pseudotumor. Both first and second cases have been controlled for a very long period of time of 22 and 14 years respectivelly, and none of them has presented any other location of the disease.

Key words:
Wegener’s granulomatosis
Limited forms
Otitis
Cranial nerve palsies
Orbital pseudotumor
