title: [Churg-Strauss syndrome with rectal localization and exudative enteropathy].
abstract: The authors report the case of a 61-year old patient with a Churg-Strauss syndrome revealed by abdominal pain. Investigations showed a diffuse inflammatory digestive tract involvement, documented by endoscopy associated with protein-losing enteropathy. Deep rectal biopsy revealed vasculitis in an otherwise macroscopically normal rectum. Faced with acute and life-threatening course of disease, emergency medical treatment with steroids and cyclophosphamide led to rapid regression of clinical, biological and radiological abnormalities.
