Abstract:
Churg-Strauss syndrome is a vasculitis that is known to have gastroenterological manifestations. There have been no reports associating it with liver disease. We present a case of this syndrome in a man who was found to develop a co-existent cholangiopathy. It is likely that this represents an associated granulomatous reaction consequent to a hepatic manifestation of the vasculitis.
