| Abstract: |
Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a rare disease among paediatric patients. Chronic otitis media with or without facial nerve dysfunction is a known manifestation of the disease among adults. A case of a 15-year-old boy with WG, whose initial symptoms were acute otitis media and facial nerve paralysis, is presented. The oto-rhino-laryngological manifestations, as well as diagnostic and current treatment modalities in paediatric patients with WG are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
