Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, formerly called Churg-Strauss syndrome, is a systemic necrotizing vasculitis of small- and medium-size vessels that frequently compromises the peripheral nervous system. We present the case of a patient with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis and an infrequent peripheral nervous system involvement, with inadequate response to conventional immunosuppressive therapy.
