Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is a rare pulmonary and systemic vasculitis associated with asthma, with peripheral blood and/or tissue eosinophilia. We report the case of a 53-year-old woman who was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia and coma secondary to right hemisphere intracerebral hemorrhage. Although she recovered from the pneumonia, she remained comatose and had sinusitis and persisting blood eosinophilia. A muscle biopsy revealed eosinophilic vasculitis. The diagnosis of CSS was made and the patient recovered after being treated with prednisone and cyclophosphamide. This case reports the very rare appearance of CSS 30 years after the first appearance of ulcerative colitis and 27 years after the onset of asthma.
