Abstract

Hypereosinophilic syndrome is a rare disorder involving the eosin concentration being elevated to more than 1500/µL in the peripheral blood for 6 months, and it causes various complications in the heart, skin, and nervous and respiratory systems. The simultaneous occurrence of neurological complications of hypereosinophilic syndrome is rare. Here we report a patient with hypereosinophilic syndrome who suffered from acute cerebral infarction and peripheral neuropathy during the same period.
