Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis as Uncommon Cause of Foot Drop and Extremities Pain

Shu-Ting Li, Hui Zhou, Chao Li, Yi Dong

Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare systemic vasculitis characterized by disseminated necrotizing vasculitis existing among patients with eosinophilia and asthma. Timely diagnosis and therapy are important for the patients to determine prognosis. Although peripheral nerve involvement is commonly observed in EGPA patients, foot drop and neuropathic pain with rapid progress is rare. We reported the case who initially manifested as paralysis of peroneal nerve and one-year rapid progress from asthma to vasculitic stage. The knowledge of the uncommon manifestations in rare disease is significant.
