ABSTRACT
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis disorder is an uncommon inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract, affecting predominantly, stomach and small intestine. Subserosal inflammation is a major source of minor?to?moderate ascites. We present the case of an 8?year?old girl child who was brought to the hospital with complaints of chronic abdomen pain and mild ascites. There was a remarkable finding of eosinophils in ascitic fluid. Other differential diagnosis was excluded. Treatment abdomen with deflazacort gave significant resolution of symptoms over the time.
