Frozen Eye in Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (Wegener's)

Abstract

Ocular involvement in Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GP or Wegener Granulomatosis) is a potentially serious disease manifestation which needs prompt diagnosis and treatment. We report a case of a 59-year-old man with known GP for nine years who presented with a left frozen eye. Definite histological diagnosis with biopsy allowed prompt exclusion of infections and neoplasms and permitted institution of increased immunosuppression to avoid further progression of disease.
