Churg-Strauss Syndrome Presenting with Acute Polyneuropathy

Year 2011, Volume: 13 Issue: 3, 37 - 39, 01.12.2011

Abstract

Churg-Strauss Syndrome is a rare, systemic necrotizing vasculitis that involves middle and smallsized vessels. Lung, skin and nervous system involvements are common. Our patient applied toour clinic with acute loss of power starting from her legs and spreading through her arms. Herelectromyographic examination revealed widespread, mixed type polyneuropathy with axonaldomination. She has a history of asthma and hemorrhagic purpura on her legs, so we suspectedChurg-Strauss Syndrome. Her skin biopsy and blood test results were consistent with ChurgStrauss Syndrome so we dedicated the polyneuropathy to this syndrome and started 1 mg/kg ofmethylprednisolone treatment. She responded well to the treatment. Vasculitic diseases such asChurg-Strauss Syndrome should be kept in mind in the etiology of acute polyneuropathy

Akut Polinöropati ile Tanısı Konan Churg-Strauss Sendromu

Year 2011, Volume: 13 Issue: 3, 37 - 39, 01.12.2011

Abstract

Churg-Strauss Sendromu (CSS) orta ve küçük çaplı damarların tutulduğu nadir görülen sistemikbir nekrotizan vaskülittir. Akciğer, deri ve sinir sistemi tutulumu ön plandadır. Kliniğimize akutbaşlayan, bacaklardan kollara da yayılan kuvvet kaybı yakınması ile gelen hastadaelektromiyografide yaygın aksonal ağırlıklı miks tip polinöropati tespit edildi. Astım öyküsü vebacaklarındaki hemorajik purpuralar nedeniyle CSS’den şüphelenildi. Deri biyopsisi ve diğerkan tetkikleri CSS’yi doğruladığından, akut polinöropati bu hastalığa bağlanarak 1 mg/kgmetilprednizolon başlandı. Tedaviden yanıt alındı. Akut polinöropatilerin etyolojisinde CSS gibivaskülitik hastalıklar akla gelmesi gerektiği vurgulanarak literatür ışığında tartışılmıştır
