Eosinophilic enteritis is a rare condition that can mimic surgical emergencies. Definitive diagnosis requires anatomopathological study, often aided by imaging and patient history.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Eosinophilic enteritis is an uncommon gastrointestinal disorder.
  • Its etiology is often unknown but may be linked to atopy or Ancylostoma caninum infestation.

Observation:

  • Transmural involvement can lead to intestinal obstruction (jejunum) or acute abdomen (ileum), potentially with perforation.
  • Symptoms may include lower right quadrant abdominal pain.
  • Eosinophil counts can be paradoxically reduced in surgical presentations.

Findings:

  • Diagnostic tools include patient history, eosinophil counts, ultrasonography, and CT scans.
  • Macroscopic findings show thickened intestinal loops with elastic consistency.
  • Anatomopathological study is essential for definitive diagnosis.

Implications:

  • Laparoscopic intestinal biopsy is crucial for diagnosis.
  • Early suspicion and diagnosis can guide appropriate management, potentially avoiding unnecessary surgical interventions.
