“…Patients with Churg-Strauss syndrome present with allergic rhinitis and nasal polyposis (9,10). Behçet disease is an autoimmune vasculitis that involves the central nervous system and also causes mucosal ulcerations, uveitis, and sensorineural hearing loss in the head and neck (11)(12)(13).…”

Granulomatous diseases have a varied etiology that includes autoimmune, infectious, idiopathic, and hereditary causes. The unifying factor in these diseases is the formation of granulomas, which histologically are mononuclear inflammatory cells or macrophages surrounded by lymphocytes. Granulomatous diseases often have systemic manifestations that affect organs throughout the body. Granulomatous diseases with head and neck manifestations include granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Churg-Strauss syndrome, Behçet disease, chronic granulomatous disease, and sarcoidosis. Infectious causes include tuberculosis, cat-scratch disease, syphilis, leprosy, actinomycosis, rhinoscleroma, and fungal infections. In the head and neck, granulomatous disease may affect the orbits, sinonasal cavities, salivary glands, aerodigestive tract, temporal bone, or skull base. Imaging findings include sinonasal opacification, ocular and other soft-tissue masses, osseous erosion, airway narrowing, lymphadenopathy, and salivary gland infiltration. Vascular involvement may also be evident, with displacement, narrowing, or occlusion of arteries and veins. Some radiologic findings of granulomatous processes have a considerable overlap with findings of malignancy, and a radiologic differential diagnosis inclusive of both is critical to avoid incorrect clinical treatment. Without the benefit of a prior clinical diagnosis, laboratory findings, or suggestive clinical signs and symptoms, granulomatous diseases may be difficult to differentiate radiologically. Although individual granulomatous diseases may have overlapping findings at imaging, certain radiologic findings should prompt the inclusion of granulomatous diseases in the differential diagnosis, thus facilitating appropriate clinical management.

Behçet's Syndrome

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The audio-vestibular system is often involved in many auioimmune syndromes as Cogan's syndrome and Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's granulomatosis) but an involvement in BehEet's disease is reported more frequently only in the last years. Behqet's disease was first deflned by Hulusi Behget in 1937. It is a refractory multisystem disorder mainly presenting with recument oral aphthae and genital ulcerations, skin lesions, and uveitis. The disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder involving the small vessels, which is of unknown etiology. It has a worldwide distribution with a prevalence ranging from l:1,000 to 1:10,000 in Japan and Turkey to 1:500,000 in North America and Europe. The aetiopathogenesis is obscure but BehEet's disease is considered to be immune-mediated.Audio-vestibular disturbance, including heanng impairment. tinnitus, arld dizziness, is one of the multisystemic characteristics of BehEet's disease.There are studies and case reports in the literature about the inner ear involvement, sudden cochlear sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and incidence of SNHL in Behqet's disease. In these studies, the incidence of HL has been reported as 12*80 7o.Auditory and vestibular lesions, among the clinical manifestations of central nervous system (CNS) involvement, were f,rst described by Alajouaine et al. [1];the authors described SNHL and gaze paretic nystagmus in a patient with BehEet's disease suffering from meningoencephalitis. Since then, other authors have shown that SNHL and dizziness are frequent symptoms in patients affected by BehEet's syndrome with or without the involvement of the CNS. ErdinE et al. l2l suggest
