First presentation of idiopathic granulomatosis with polyangiitis in an adolescent

This case report demonstrates a paediatric patient with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis, most consistent with a diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), who presented with extensive airway involvement. It highlights that, although rare, the potential occurrence of GPA can be clinically challenging.
