Eosinophilic ascites, an unusual presentation of eosinophilic gastroenteritis: A case report and review.

Eosinophilic ascites (EA) is a rare disorder of unknown etiology that has been reported in both adult and pediatric patients. It is a part of the syndrome of eosinophilic gastroenteritis, which is characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of any or all layers of the gut wall and may involve any segment of the gastrointestinal tract. Peripheral eosinophilia may or may not be present. We report a case of EA that developed post partum.
