Granulomatosis with polyangiitis

Dysthyroid optic neuropathy is the most commonly suspected diagnosis of optic neuropathy in Graves’ patients; however, other causes need to be ruled out. We present a unique case of optic neuropathy second‑ ary to hypertrophic pachymeningitis with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis, which was suspected to be antithyroid drug related.

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a rare small vessel vasculitis predominantly affecting upper and lower respiratory tract and kidneys. Unilateral diaphragmatic palsy could be a rare manifestation of GPA. Here we report a case of GPA in a 45-year-old male with unilateral diaphragmatic palsy with pleuropericarditis.

This report describes a hitherto unique case of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), a subtype of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis. The patient was an 81-year-old man whose clinical course involved notable changes in the ANCA profile, specifically a transition from positive proteinase 3 (PR3)-ANCA to myeloperoxidase (MPO)-ANCA, followed by simultaneous positivity for both.
