ABSTRACT

Wegener's granulomatosis is a multisystem autoimmune disease of unknown etiology that causes a small vessel vasculitis characterized by necrotizing granulomatous inflammation, tissue necrosis and varying degrees of vasculitis. The classic clinical model is a triad involving the upper airways, lungs and kidneys; however, Wegener's granulomatosis is now recognized as a highly polymorphic systemic disease that can affect any organ. Otologic manifestations occur in 19-61% of cases and may be the initial manifestation of the disease; serous otitis media is the most common and may be accompanied by facial paralysis, which is rare and even more if it is bilateral, with few reports cases in the world literature as the one presented below.
