    Journal: Int J Colorectal Dis; 2020 Apr; 35(4):765-767. PubMed ID: 31989248.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is an uncommon disorder, characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract. Clinical presentations are variable. It depends on the involvement of GI layer. Eosinophilic ascites is a rare presentation of eosinophilic gastroenteritis and is often associated with the serosal form. CASE PRESENTATION: In this paper, we present a 26-year-old male with EGE who presented with massive hemorrhagic ascites and was successfully treated with steroids. CONCLUSION: The diagnosis of eosinophilic gastroenteritis requires histopathological examination and is often made after the exclusion of other possible causes of eosinophilia. EGE should be considered in a patient with unexplained hemorrhagic ascites.
