ABSTRACT
Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is a rare disease of multiple organ involvement attributed to asthma, eosinophilia, and vasculitis as a diagnostic criterion. Here we report a case of CSS presenting with left leg weakness and chest pain with a diagnosis of myocarditis and neuropathy. Eosinophilia, history of asthma, peripheral neurological damage led to the diagnosis of CSS. Transthoracic echo showed a full-sized segmental wall motion abnormality with normal CT angiography. He responded well to steroid therapy.
