Abstract

This article discusses a case report of a patient with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), a rare systemic antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis. The patient presented with a choroidal granuloma near the optic disk, which was highlighted through multimodal imaging. The article describes the patient's medical history, examination findings, and treatment. The authors emphasize the importance of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in diagnosing and imaging retinal pseudo-tumors. This case report provides valuable insights into the ophthalmologic manifestations of EGPA and the utility of multimodal imaging in diagnosing and monitoring the condition.
