Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EG) is an unusual disorder. It is characterized by eosinophil infiltration of the gut wall histologically and is manifested by gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms clinically. This disease entity preferentially affects the stomach and proximal small intestine. Transmural variety is a rare form of this disease causing stricture and intestinal obstruction. We present two cases of Eosinophilic enteritis causing distal small intestinal stricture and proximal colonic mass both presenting as acute intestinal obstruction.
