Abstract

Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome is a spectrum of diseases characterized by prominent peripheral eosinophilic leukocytosis without an identifiable cause. Several reports have described hepatic involvement as depicted on sonography and CT imaging in patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome. However, thrombosis of the portal, splenic and mesenteric veins in hypereosinophilic syndrome has been rarely reported. We present here a case of portal, splenic and mesenteric thrombosis in a 33-year-old man with hypereosinophilic syndrome
