Abstract

Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is a disorder characterized by hypereosinophilia and systematic vasculitis occurring in individuals with bronchial asthma. We present a case of 24-year-old woman with CSS diagnosed by and followed with gastrointestinal fiberscopic examination and electroneuromyography. The duodenal biopsy showed granulomatous angiitis with eosinophilic infiltration, and the electroneuromyography showed peripheral nerve dysfunction. After steroid treatment, the duodenal erosion and ulcer were almost completely resolved. There was no improvement in electroneuromyography, but the patient was able to walk independently after intensive rehabilitative training.
