5. Serum proteinase 3 antibody level was 180 units (normal <21 units) and c-ANCA was 1:160, consistent with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA; Wegener’s granulomatosis). GPA was confirmed by lung nodule biopsy showing multinucleated giant cells and necrosis. Cranial neuropathies are a recognized complication of GPA (1, 2). Collet-Sicard syndrome (CSS) represents cranial nerve 9-12 palsies with sympathetic sparing. Cranial nerves 9-11 exit the jugular foramen while cranial nerve 12 traverses the nearby hypoglossal canal. 52yo male with multiple lower cranial neuropathies Schuster et al.
