A patient with Churg-Strauss syndrome who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery under general anesthesia - A case report

Abstract

There are many cause of cholinesterase deficiency, including drugs, liver disease, chronic anemia, malignant states, cardiac failure, severe acute infection, surgical shock, severe burn, collagen disease and vasculitis syndromes. Vasculitis syndromes are relatively rare, and among them, Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is even rarer. We report here on a case of a patient with CSS who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery under general anesthesia. Copyright © Korean Society of Anesthesiologists, 2010.
