Abstract

Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) occurs usually in subjects who have asthma and allergic complaints. It is characterized with pulmonary or systemic vasculitis, extravascular granulomes and eosinophilia. It sometimes causes fulminant peripheral neuropathy. Although Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) usually causes demyelinating neuropathy, it seldom follows an atypical course presenting with axonal loss. In this report, a case with CSS previously diagnosed with GBS due to acute fulminant neuropathy is discussed in the light of relevant literature.

Özet

Churg-Strauss sendromu (CSS) genellikle astım veya alerjik yakınmaları olan kişilerde ortaya çıkar. Pulmoner veya sistemik vaskülit, ekstravasküler granülomlar ve eosinofili ile karakterizedir. Bazen fulminan periferik nöropatiye neden olabilir. Guillain-Barre sendromu (GBS) genellikle demyelizan nöropatiye sebep olsa da daha seyrek olarak akson kaybı ile atipik şekilde seyredebilir. Bu sunumda öncesinde akut fulminan nöropati nedeniyle GBS tanısı almış CSS'li bir olgu ilgili literatür ışığında tartışılmıştır.
