Wegener’s granulomatosis is known to be a systemic necrotizing, granulomatous vasculitis that mainly affects the upper and lower respiratory tracts and the kidney.<br> We report on a case of suspected Wegener’s granulomatosis with intractable otitis media and facial palsy. A forty-year-old woman suffered from intractable otitis media coexisting with facial palsy. C-ANCA was positive. A nasal biopsy was performed, but it did not show vasculitis. The patient was therefore treated with steroid hormones and immunosuppresants as a case of suspected Wegener’s granulomatosis. The combination therapy was effective, and her facial palsy resolved in four months, but her severe hearing loss remained. It is difficult to diagnose this disease with the current diagnostic criteria.<br>
