Abstract
Wegener's Granulomatosis or Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (WG/GPA) is one of the antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody associated vasculitis. Ocular manifestations the first presenting signs in patients with WG/GPA. We report on two patients diagnosed with WG/GPA and discuss their pertinent clinical findings. Our case report reviews the most common clinical manifestations and ophthalmic associations to compare them with the physical findings of two Hispanic patients. Further, to our knowledge this is the first report of ocular findings in patients with WG/GPA in two Puerto Rican patients.
