Abstract
To report asymptomatic optic disc edema in a patient with Churg-Strauss syndrome. Retrospective, observational case report. Neuro-ophthalmic examination, sural nerve biopsy, and laboratory evaluation. Visual acuity, funduscopy, automated perimetry, and histopathology of sural nerve biopsy. Churg-Strauss syndrome may be associated with optic neuropathy. Careful ophthalmic evaluation may reveal signs of optic neuropathy before the development of symptomatic vision loss.
