ABSTRACT

@#A 47-year-old woman with poorly controlled asthma and allergic rhinitis presented with recurrent episodes of bilateral upper eyelid swelling associated with forniceal conjunctival mass for the past 10 years. Routine blood investigations showed raised IgE levels and raised eosinophil counts. The diagnosis of Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) was made following biopsy of the conjunctival mass. The symptoms responded well to oral steroid treatment but recurred following cessation of the therapy. The patient was co-managed with a rheumatologist and the patient currently remains stable and is on oral Methotrexate and low dose oral steroids. Ocular involvement in CSS is unusual but this unique presentation of CSS was successfully managed, and the patient remains in remission.
