CNS manifestations of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (previously known as Wegener granulomatosis) are rare and occur only in ~9% of the patients. They can be identified as cerebral or meningeal granulomatous lesions, CNS vasculitis of the small vessels, and continuous invasion of an extracranial granuloma.
