A 27-year-old woman was admitted for intractable right-sided neck, ear, and jaw pain with gradual development of tinnitus and hearing loss. A cerebral MRI showed meningo-dural enhancement, and additional diagnostic workup revealed a right pulmonary infiltrate and positive PR-3 ANCA. Biopsies from nasal mucosa and lung showed chronic inflammation with granuloma formation. Based on these findings the patient was diagnosed with Wegener's granulomatosis with pachymeningitis. There was no clinical response to oral Prednisolone and Cyclophosphamide, but complete clinical and imaging remission was achieved by adding Rituximab.
一名27岁女性因右侧颈部、耳部和下颌顽固性疼痛入院,耳鸣和听力损失逐渐加重。脑部MRI显示脑膜-硬脑膜强化,进一步的诊断检查发现右肺浸润及PR-3抗中性粒细胞胞浆抗体阳性。鼻黏膜和肺部活检显示慢性炎症伴肉芽肿形成。基于这些发现,患者被诊断为伴有硬脑膜炎的韦格纳肉芽肿。口服泼尼松龙和环磷酰胺无临床反应,但加用利妥昔单抗后实现了临床和影像学完全缓解。
