[Neurological disorders in eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg-Strauss syndrome)].

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis - EGPA (Churg-Strauss syndrome) is a rare autoimmune disorder. The pathogenesis of the disease includes production of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies directed against myeloperoxidase with the development of small-vessel necrotizing vasculitis and eosinophilic infiltration of organs. The involvement of peripheral and central nervous system is observed in more than 3/4 of cases.
