[Wegener's granulomatosis. Roentgenographic signs and radiotherapeutic possibilities (author's transl)]. 1978

E P Strecker, and D Maas, and M Wannenmacher

Pulmonary alterations and the clinical course of 8 patients with Wegener's granulomatosis are described. Knowledge of the variety of the clinical presentation and lung involvement is mandatory for the radiologist to achieve early diagnosis of this disease. Prognosis is better in Wegener's granulomatosis when adequate therapy is started in the first stage. Films of the nasal sinus are also important for the diagnosis. Besides immunsuppressiva radiation therapy can be helpful in local involvement of the ENT, skin, and orbital area as is demonstrated in 2 of our patients.
