Cavitary nodules: An unusual radiological manifestation of churg-strauss syndrome
Özet
Churg-Strauss syndrome is a very rare disease that occurs almost exclusively in patients with asthma. Thoracic radiological manifestations of Churg-Strauss syndrome are variable. The most common chest CT findings are parenchymal air-space consolidation and ground glass attenuation, as well as centrilobular nodules, bronchial dilatation or bronchial wall thickening, interlobular septal thickening. Multiple nodules may occur in Churg-Strauss syndrome but cavitating nodules are unusual and have been reported in only two cases in literature. Herein, we present a Churg-Strauss syndrome case with unusual cavitating nodules demonstrated by HRCT scans.
