Abstract

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), also known as Churg-Strauss syndrome, is a rare type of vasculitis with multisystemic involvement. Very few authors have described the anaesthesia technique in these patients. We present the first report on ambulatory surgery in a patient with EGPA. This case dispels concerns about the safety of day surgery and reports successful regional anaesthesia management in a patient with EGPA.
