Abstract Purpose:Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis(EGPA) is a necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis characterized by an increased peripheral blood eosinophil counts and various clinical manifestations. Ocular complications occur in 14-16% of patients, among which ischemic optic neuropathy and retinal artery and vein occlusion are frequently observed. Herein, we report a case of ocular complications caused by EGPA that was successfully treated with steroids.

Materials & methods:The patient, a 45-year-old man, was referred to our hospital with left eyelid swelling and ocular motility disturbances. Frontal dural biopsy showed vasculitis with eosinophilic infiltration and an increased peripheral blood eosinophil count, leading to a diagnosis of EGPA.

Results:After diagnosis, steroid pulse therapy was administered, resulting in a decreased eosinophil count, and improvement in a decreased eyelid swelling and ocular motility disorder.

Conclusion:This case report highlights orbital apical syndrome with inflammatory lesions as a rare ocular complication of EGPA. Given the potential difficulty in distinguishing this syndrome from orbital cellulitis, evaluating increased eosinophil counts in peripheral blood is essential for accurate differentiation.
