    Author: Kalra S, Yadav A, Agarwal S, Kumar S.
    Journal: Int J Crit Illn Inj Sci; 2013 Jan; 3(1):88-90. PubMed ID: 23724392.
    Abstract:
    Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a systemic vasculitis, which can involve any organ system in the body; however, involvement of central nervous system at presentation is very uncommon. Dural involvement in WG has been infrequently reported; however, presentation with subdural hematoma as the initial manifestation is extremely rare. We present a case of WG presenting as subdural hematoma, which resolved on cytotoxic therapy without surgical evacuation.
