title: [Ocular manifestations of Churg-Strauss syndrome: review article and case report].
abstract: This paper summarizes the possible ocular manifestations of Churg-Straus syndrome (CCS) from the literature and presents an unusual case report from routine clinical practice with conjunctival granuloma, orbital pseudotumor and choroidal folds. The CSS is an ANCA-associated granulomatous vasculitis which can be manifested in various organs and represents a life-threatening situation for the patient. Ocular manifestations are rare and can spread to all segments of the eye and orbit. The most frequent forms of ocular involvement described in the literature are retinal occlusion and orbital pseudotumor with various degrees of expression.
