Abstract
Churg-Strauss syndrome is a necrotizing vasculitis of small vessels characterized by upper and lower airway disease followed by peripheral eosinophilia and multiple organ involvement. Herein we present the case of a 45-year-old female patient with Churg-Strauss syndrome and myopericardial disease who improved upon cyclophosphamide treatment. Apart from discussing the characteristics of myopericardial disease in eosinophilic syndromes, we highlight the crucial role of cardiac imaging in the prompt recognition and management of such patients.
