- Abstract: Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis(EGPA),also known as Churg-Strauss syndrome,is a clinically rare small-vessel vasculitis associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) and the hypereosinophilic syndromes (HESs),characterized by asthma,disseminated necrotizing vasculitis,extravascular granulomas,peripheral eosinophilia,and tissue eosinophilia. This article reviews the pathology,imaging,and clinical features of EGPA.
