We present a rare case of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), involving a 26-year-old woman with a history of asthma and nasal polyps. The patient presented with acute aortoiliac thrombosis and mitral insufficiency, which was successfully treated with thrombolysis, aortic thromboendarterectomy, and valve replacement. Peripheral hypereosinophilia with eosinophilic infiltration of the heart led to the diagnosis of antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody-negative EGPA. Treatment with prednisone and mepolizumab was started, resulting in a positive outcome. This case showcases an unusual manifestation of EGPA with large size vessel involvement and requiring surgical and pharmacological treatment. It also highlights the importance of early detection for timely intervention and an improved prognosis.
我们报告一例罕见的嗜酸性肉芽肿性多血管炎(EGPA),患者为一名26岁有哮喘和鼻息肉病史的女性。该患者出现急性主-髂动脉血栓形成和二尖瓣关闭不全,经溶栓、主动脉血栓内膜切除术和瓣膜置换成功治疗。外周血嗜酸性粒细胞增多伴心脏嗜酸性粒细胞浸润导致抗中性粒细胞胞浆抗体阴性的EGPA诊断。开始使用泼尼松和美泊利单抗治疗,结果良好。该病例展示了EGPA伴有大血管受累的不寻常表现,需要手术和药物治疗。它还强调了早期检测对于及时干预和改善预后的重要性。
