Abstract
Granulomatosis with polyangitis (Wegener's disease) is a rare ANCA (anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody) positive vasculitis that seldom involves brain and meninges. We herein present a case of a 35-year-old woman presenting with granulomatosis with polyangitis involving the brain and the meninges. The histological diagnosis required a complete resection of the lesion. Despite the possibility of post operative wound infection surgery was mandatory to ascertain the diagnostic and to treat locally.
