Brief description/objective

We describe four females and two males between 63 and 81 years old, who have been treated at our department for Wegener Granulomatosis. Thereby we focus on the clinical presentation and radiological signs, and respectively to our speciality we highlight the pulmonary aspects of the disease. Referring to these six case reports we discuss the diagnosis and the clinical course of Wegener Granulomatosis in the elderly.
