Abstract
Vasculitis syndromes rarely co-exist with pregnancy; for example, Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA) ( formerly known as Churg-Struss Syndrome) is even rarer. Vasculitis syndromes often have a poor prognosis, making diagnosis very problematic, and generally, we do not have much literature about the anesthetic management of these rare types of vasculitis. Our study reports a case scenario of a 38- year-old woman who is pregnant and has been diagnosed with EGPA. She completed a successful pregnancy and was subject to emergency category II cesarean section delivery under regional anesthesia at University College Hospital Galway-Ireland. The patient coped well during the pregnancy apart from the reoccurrence of an asthma attack and allergic rhinitis at mid-pregnancy, which responded to an upsurge in steroid dosage. Clinical effects and choice the type of anesthesia and itâs relation to vasculitis are discussed.
