Abstract
Case report

We present the case of a 69-year-old woman with unilateral retinal vasculitis. Investigations showed asthma, rhinosinusitis, nasal polyposis, peripheral blood eosinophilia, increased sedimentation rate, proteinuria, and antiphospholipid antibodies. Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) were negative.

Discussion

Although her anti-neutrophil cytoplasmatic antibody (ANCA) status was negative, taking into account the other clinical and laboratory features, retinal vasculitis was thought to be an ocular manifestation of Churg–Strauss syndrome. Treatment was started with high-dose corticosteroids and anticoagulant therapy.

Keywords:
Churg–Strauss syndrome
Retinal vasculitis
Retinal vein occlusion
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmatic antibody

Resumen
Caso clínico

Presentamos el caso clínico de una mujer de 69 años, con una vasculitis retiniana unilateral. El estudio del caso mostró la presencia de asma, sinusitis con pólipos nasales, eosinofilia en sangre periférica, aumento de la velocidad de sedimentación, proteinuria y anticuerpos antifosfolipídicos. Los anticuerpos antineutrófilos citoplasmáticos fueron negativos.

Discusión

A pesar de la ausencia de anticuerpos antineutrófilos citoplasmáticos, se consideró el diagnóstico de un síndrome de Churg-Strauss, dadas las otras manifestaciones clínicas y de laboratorio, iniciándose un tratamiento con altas dosis de corticoides y anticoagulantes.
