Abstract

SERNA HIGUERA, C. de la et al. Eosinophilic gastroenteritis: clinical spectrum of the same disease. An. Med. Interna (Madrid) [online]. 2002, vol.19, n.7, pp.43-46. ISSN 0212-7199.

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a condition of unknown etiopathogenesis and unusual description. Clinical symptoms are widely diverse ranging from mild episodes of abdominal discomfort to acute intestinal obstruction which leads occasionally to urgent surgical approach. This wide range of clinical posisibilities seems to be secondary to the rate of eosinophilic infiltration of the bowel wall and the number of layers involved. We report two cases showing that anatomo-clinical variety and their therapeutic outcomes. 

Keywords : Eosinophilic gastroenteritis; Clinical variants.
