Abstract Purpose:Granulomatosis with polyangiitis(GPA)causes a variety of systemic symptoms. We report a case of GPA presenting multiple cranial neuropathy.

Case:A 45-year old woman was treated for bilateral pneumonia with our respiratory medicines. Treatment for facial nerve palsy was initiated a month ago in our otorhinolaryngology. Thereafter, she was transported by emergency for exacerbation of dizziness. Head MRI revealed no abnormality. Right ptosis and right vision loss were present, therefore, she was introduced to our department of ophthalmology.

Right corrected visual acuity was 30 cm/h. m., right indirect light reflex was positive and bilateral ptosis and right omnidirectional ocular motility disorder were present.

She was diagnosed with right retrobulbar optic perineuritis after FAG, orbit MRI, and started steroidal pulse therapy. Proteinase-3-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(PR3-ANCA)was high level, and she was definitively diagnosed GPA, and she was transferred to other university hospital. After transfer, contrast MRI revealed hypertrophic pachymeningitis. After treatment, right ptosis and bilateral ocular motility disorder recovered, but right visual acuity did not improve.

Conclusion:If a patient has multiple cranial neuropathy with headache, contrast MRI is essential for distinguishing of hypertrophic pachymeningitis.
