BACKGROUND The clinical manifestations of eosinophilic gastroenteritis are nonspecific and vary depending on which layer of the gastrointestinal tract is involved. Computed tomography (CT) is valuable for detecting and characterizing gastrointestinal wall abnormalities. CASE REPORT We report a case of eosinophilic gastroenteritis that formed a chamber in the rigid duodenal wall of a 67-year-o...

Eosinophilic colitis and hypereosinophilic syndrome with colic involvement are rare diagnosis that characterized by wide-ranging gastrointestinal symptoms idiopathic infiltration of eosinophils in the colon. The diagnostic workup is challenging since there no standardized criteria. We report a case man admitted to hospital history nonbloody chronic diarrhea. detailed demonstrated blood eosinoph...

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is defined as primary eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract. Endoscopic findings of this disease entity are non-specific, and huge gastric ulceration as initial presentation is extremely rare. We experienced a case of eosinophilic gastroenteritis presenting with abdominal pain in a 38 year-old-woman. Deep and huge ulceration in gastric antrum and b...

INTRODUCTION Eosinophilic colitis, which is a rare form of eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases, occurs as primary and secondary allergic eosinophilic colitis of the gastrointestinal tract infection, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, and vasculitis. The diagnosis is based on a significant amount of eosinophils in the inflammatory infiltrate of the colon wall. AIM To analyze the cl...

Eosinophils are involved in the initiation and propagation of diverse inflammatory responses, including antigen presentation and the release of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, lipid mediators and cytotoxic granules (1-4) (Fig. 1). Tissue damage and dysfunction resulting from secretion of these pleiotropic mediators is a common pathogenic component in several diseases, including atopic as...

Eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases may affect the colon; however, isolated colonic involvement is very rare. Diagnosis of eosinophilic colitis requires clinical suspicion and it should be differentiated from other disorders causing eosinophil accumulation in the colon tissue. Herein we present a 46-year-old female admitted to the hospital with the complaints of bloody diarrhea (25-30 times ...

background: eosinophilic gastroenteritis (eg) is rare and is characterized by recurrent eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract and chronic diarrhea. in this report we present a case of eg with acute pancreatitis and deep vein thrombosis (dvt). case presentation: a 30 years old male was admitted to our hospital with the complaints of epigastric pain, vomitting and swelling of hi...

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is an uncommon disease characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract. The clinical manifestations are related to the layer(s) and extent of the bowel involved. In this paper, we present a case of intractable abdominal pain caused by jejunal submucosal eosinophilic infiltration without mucosal involvement, diagnosed by deep endoscopic biops...

RATIONALE Eosinphilic gastroenteritis (EG) is a gastrointestinal disorder characterized by eosinophilic infiltration with various manifestations. The diagnosis is usually confirmed by an endoscopic biopsy, which is considered a safe and routine procedure for the majority. PATIENT CONCERNS We report a 54-year-old male who was presented with intermittent periumbilical pain and melena, and only ...
