Orbital mass as manifestation of Wegener's granulomatosis: an ophthalmologic diagnostic approach.

OBJECTIVES Orbital manifestation of Wegener's granulomatosis is diverse and diagnosis is often difficult. This study aims to improve the diagnostic strategy in orbital Wegener. METHODS A review of the diagnostic process in patients in whom a diagnosis of orbital WG was considered.

Wegener granulomatosis: CT and MR findings.

PURPOSE To demonstrate the spectrum of CT and MR imaging findings in patients with Wegener granulomatosis and to determine how often these findings could be attributed to either direct extension from paranasal or orbital disease sites, remote granulomas, or central nervous system (CNS) vasculitis. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the CT or MR studies of 15 patients with Wegener granulomato...
