Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare condition characterized by eosinophilic infiltration or the different layers of the intestinal wall. Clinical symptoms depend of the site of eosinophilic infiltration and the layers involved. Usually characterized by peripheral eosinophilia. Definitive diagnosis is based on histopathological findings. We report two cases with excellent response to steroid therapy.
