Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders are relatively rare disorders characterised by eosinophilic infiltrate into any layer of the gastrointestinal tract, for example, mucosa, muscularis mucosae, and serosa, usually in association with peripheral eosinophilia. This report describes the computed tomography findings of a patient with oesophago-gastroenteritis presenting with acute abdominal pain and ascites. The computed tomography findings of a layered pattern of bowel wall thickening and mesenteric hyperaemia, which may mimic inflammatory bowel disease, are presented.

嗜酸性粒細胞引發的胃腸功能紊亂屬於相對少見病症，特徵是嗜酸性粒細胞浸潤胃腸道的任何分 層，如粘膜層、粘膜肌層和漿膜層；通常與外周血嗜酸性粒細胞增多有關。本文報告一名臨床症狀 為急性腹痛和腹腔積液的食道–胃腸道炎症患者，其電腦斷層掃描結果為與腸道炎症表現類似的腸壁 層狀增厚和腸系膜充血。
