[Initial otologic manifestation of Wegener's granulomatosis].
In most patients the first symptoms of Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) originates in the ENT-area. As a consequence, their prompt recognition allows diagnosis of the disease in an early stage. The beginning of WG with initial symptoms of otalgia followed by a rapidly progressive course is reported in a case. Prognosis in WG currently depends on making an early diagnosis and is improved by well-timed and sufficient therapy.
