Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a multi-system disease, characterised by the triad of necrotising granulomata affecting the upper and lower respiratory tracts, disseminated vasculitis and glomerulonephritis. Oral lesions are associated with up to 50% of cases, although are rare as a presenting feature. The most common oral lesions associated with WG are ulceration and strawberry gingivitis. We review the literature regarding oral manifestations of WG and present a case of lingual infarction, an extremely rare oral lesion associated with WG, in a severe, rapidly progressive and ultimately fatal form of the disease.

“…In fact, bilateral ligation of the external carotid arteries is a surgical treatment of severe epistaxis 1 and is usually well tolerated, although cases of claudication on mastication after this procedure have been reported 2 . A review of the literature detailed two similar cases of acute unilateral facial and tongue pain; 3,4 evidence of external carotid artery occlusion was diagnosed with angiography in both cases. It should be noted that tongue necrosis has been reported in patients with temporal arteritis 5 …”
