Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis in a patient with an initial presentation of upper limb mononeuropathy: a case report

Abstract

We report here a patient with an initial clinical presentation of sensory and motor neuropathy of the upper limb, with no evidence of spine or entrapment disorders. The patient later developed a sensory neuropathy of the lower limb, leading to further testing that revealed a diagnosis of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). Systemic diseases including EGPA should be considered when making a diagnosis in patients with multiple mononeuropathy.
