title: Bilateral--otitis media, dacroadenitis, parotitis and left sided infranuclear facial palsy: unusual manifestations of Wegener's granulomatosis.
abstract: Wegener's granulomatosis is a systemic vasculitis of unknown aetiology. Although it classically involves the upper respiratory tract, lungs and kidneys, virtually any organ may be affected. We report a rare case of a 45 year old female who presented with bilateral-dacroadenitis, otitis media, parotid enlargement and left sided lower motor neuron type of facial palsy as the initial manifestations of Wegener's granulomatosis.
