Does anyone have any input regarding the onset of Wegener's Granulomatosis
and trauma?
I have a patient who was in an auto accident in 1995 with trauma to her (r)
hip and neck. Within 6 months she was bed bound with avascular necrosis to
her (r) hip and swelling to her pituitary. She was diagnosed since with
Wegener's Granulomatosis which I understand to be an auto immune disease
characterized with vasculitis.
Her request was for me to ask if anyone else could relate the onset of this
disease to any trauma. Any input is welcome.
Thanks,
Karen
