The association of cardiac involvement and ischemic stroke in Churg Strauss syndrome

Revue neurologique

Abstract

In Churg and Strauss syndrome (CSS), three patterns of neurological involvement can be found, including mono or polyneuropathy, encephalopathy and stroke. We report two cases of stroke associated with major hypereosinophilia and cardiac involvement, leading to a diagnosis of CSS. Neurological and general outcome were good under treatment with steroids in combination with cyclophosphamide in one case. Churg and Strauss syndrome must be considered when a stroke is associated with a cardiac involvement and hypereosinophilia.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Acute Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted depriving the brain of oxygen and nutrients. This feed focuses cerebrovascular accidents including ischemic and paralytic stroke.
