ABSTRACT
Churg-Strauss syndrome is a disorder of hypereosinophilia and systemic vasculitis in subjects with asthma and allergic rhinitis. Clinically, this syndrome can be involved with various manifestations of disease of lung, heart, skin, musculoskeletal system, nerve system, gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary tract. Gastrointestinal manifestations often occur in patients. However, endoscopic finding is rare because of risk on intestinal perforation and hemorrhage in vasculitis-phase. We experienced a case of Churg-Strauss syndrome in a 27-year-old male patient with severe abdominal pain and diarrhea. He also showed leukocytosis with peripheral eosinophilia, bronchial asthma, and chronic paranasal sinusitis. Based on findings, we suggested Churg-Strauss syndrome with gastrointestinal involvement and he received a capsules endoscopy and gastroduodenal endoscopy. Capsules endoscopy showed diffuse erythema and mucosal edema on proximal jejunum to ileum, which meant the Churg-Strauss syndrome with gastrointestinal involvement. We report this case with a review of the relevant literatures.
