Popis: The authors describe a case of acute abdomen operated in emergency for obstruction in a patient with eosinophilic gastritis. This is very unusual pathology characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the gastric antral wall combined with peripheric eosinophilia. This particular case was operated for a small bowel obstruction but in those rare cases, when we can reach a diagnosis with endoscopic biopsy, a prudential attitude becomes inevitable as this pathology is very responsive to medical treatment with corticosteroids.
