Wegener’s Granulomatosis and Anaesthetic Implications: A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Wegener’s granulomatosis (WG), a rare immunopathologic disease, is a systemic vasculitis of small, medium and large arterial involvement. It presents a challenge to the anaesthesiologist due to multisystem involvement resulting in potential abnormalities of the airway, along with involvement of respiratory, circulatory, renal and central/peripheral nervous system. Additional morbidities arise in these patients secondary to treatment with corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs. A familiarity with proper approach to perioperative management is essential.
