Abstract:
A case of Wegener's Granulomatosis of 35 year old Korean male having 38 months duration with typical clinical symptoms and coular manifestations had been treated and observed in our clinic form April to November 21, 1958. The diagnosis was confirmed by the histopathological studies on biopsy specimen and by postmortem examination. The ultimate cause of the death in this case was thought to be massive cerebral hemorrhages as a result of systemic involvement of necrotizing angitis which is one of the characteristic features of this disease. Uremia and hypertension were not observed in this case to the end of the course. There is no report dealing with Wegener's Granulomatosis in Korean literatures to the best of our knowledge at this moment.
