Churg-Strauss syndrome, a rare vasculitis, can present with neurologic issues like neuropathy. Early diagnosis and treatment with corticosteroids led to rapid improvement in this patient.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Rheumatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Systemic necrotizing vasculitis presents with diverse and complex neurologic symptoms.
  • Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is characterized by asthma, systemic vasculitis, mononeuritis multiplex, and eosinophilia.

Observation:

  • A 59-year-old woman developed late-onset asthma, mononeuritis multiplex, and peripheral eosinophilia, consistent with CSS.
  • Neurologic examination revealed significant myelinating and axonal neuropathy.
  • Biopsies confirmed neurogenic atrophy, demyelination, axonal changes, and necrotizing vasculitis.

Findings:

  • The patient's presentation of CSS with predominantly neurologic involvement was unusual.
  • High-dose prednisone treatment resulted in rapid clinical improvement.

  • The absence of multisystemic involvement was a notable feature of this case.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of recognizing neurologic manifestations in CSS.
    • Prompt diagnosis and treatment with corticosteroids can lead to favorable outcomes.
    • CSS is increasingly recognized and effectively managed with therapies like methylprednisolone.
