Destructive Upper Airway Disease from Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA)‎: The Very First Case

الملخص EN

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a multisystem vasculitic disorder that predominantly affects medium- and small-sized blood vessels.

EGPA belongs to a group of vasculitides known as anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody- (ANCA-) associated vasculitis (AAV).

Upper airway involvement is seen in all ANCA-associated vasculitides, but destructive upper airway disease has never been reported in patients with EGPA.

We report the first case of erosive chondritis and saddle nose deformity in a 50-year-old patient suffering from EGPA.
