Churg-Strauss syndrome with a central neurological finding

We report a case of a young female patient who presented with a monophasic multifocal neurological finding. The correct diagnosis was only determined based on differential diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. The subsequent course and clinical finding were indicative of Churg-Strauss syndrome, with four diagnostic criteria (bronchial asthma, nasal polyps, eosinophilia, and neurological symptomatology) being met. A dominant central neurological finding was unusual.
