Article Synopsis
- A 26-year-old woman with asthma and nasal polyps was diagnosed with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) after experiencing acute aortoiliac thrombosis and mitral insufficiency.
- The patient underwent successful treatments including thrombolysis, aortic thromboendarterectomy, and valve replacement, alongside a diagnosis of antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody-negative EGPA due to peripheral hypereosinophilia.
- Following treatment with prednisone and mepolizumab, the patient's condition improved, emphasizing the significance of early detection for better outcomes in EGPA cases involving large vessels.
