Abstract
A review of 108 patients with Wegener's granulomatosis clarified the diverse clinical manifestations and disclosed some of the less well-known areas of involvement. Because of the frequency of nasal involvement in Wegener's granulomatosis, the otolaryngologist plays an important role in the early diagnosis and treatment.
