Article Synopsis
- A 59-year-old man with a history of asthma and sinusitis experienced weakness and sensory loss in his lower limbs three days after undergoing surgery for malignant melanoma.
- Laboratory tests showed elevated eosinophils and immunoglobulin E levels, raising initial suspicion of eosinophilic polyangiitis granulomatosis (EGPA) as the cause of his symptoms.
- A nerve biopsy indicated lymphocyte-dominated inflammation but ruled out EGPA, leading to a diagnosis of early onset post-surgical inflammatory neuropathy (PIN), which improved significantly with treatment using prednisolone.
