Popis: Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), formerly known as Churg-Strauss syndrome, is a rare disease with asthma, eosinophilia, and systemic vasculitis. EGPA may be among the rare causes of ischemic stroke. Neurosyphilis, on the other hand, is a disease that can mimic many diseases due to its wide clinical symptoms, and the diagnosis is often delayed or missed. Some of these patients present to the emergency services with acute stroke and are only diagnosed after suffering a cerebrovascular complication. We present this case, because two rare causes of ischemic stroke are together.
