Abstract
Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS), also known as allergic granulomatous angiitis, is a rare disorder characterized by the presence of asthma, eosinophilia and small-to-medium-sized vessels vasculitis. The peripheral nervous system is frequently involved in CSS, but central nervous system (CNS) involvement is rare. Furthermore, transverse myelitis (TM) as a presenting symptom in patients with CSS is extremely rare. We report here on a 60-year-old female who presented peripheral eosinophilia, lung eosinophilic infiltration, lung vasculitis, and TM. She was diagnosed as CSS based on clinical manifestation, pathologic findings, and the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
