Summary
Churg-Strauss syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by hypereosinophilia and systemic vasculitis which usually occurs in patients with asthma and allergic rhinitis. We, here, presented a case with Churg-Strauss syndrome with no extra-pulmonary presentation despite involvement in peripheral nervous system as in the form of peripheral mononeuropathy in femoral nerve.
