Dysphagia in a patient with Wegener's granulomatosis: case report.

Wegener's Granulomatosis is an autoimmune disease characterized by a rare form of systemic vasculitis which can result in damage to vital organs of the body by restricting blood flow to those organs. It affects various systems of the body including the central nervous system and cranial nerves. To our knowledge, there are no previous described cases of oropharyngeal dysphagia in these patients. This paper describes and discusses a case of oropharyngeal dysphagia in a patient with Wegener's Granulomatosis.
