We describe a case of WG in which the extension of granuloma from extracranial sites of the skull base resulted in refractory multiple cranial nerve palsy that was dramatically resolved by infliximab therapy. A 42-year-old man had developed bilateral hearing loss and facial nerve palsy since November 2004.
