| Abstrakt: | Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA) is a rare disease with varied clinical manifestations. We present a case of GPA which manifested initially with symptoms suggestive of meningeal tuberculosis. High index of suspicion and collective review of all clinical features helped in the correct diagnosis. Treatment of this case with rituximab provided significant symptomatic relief.
