Lertprasertsuke N This is the case -report of a rare cause of chronic small intestinal obstruction by eosi-
nophilic enteritis. A 53 -year -old woman presented with an 8 -month history of severe inter-
mittent abdominal colick associated with malnutrition, weight loss, and bowel habit change.
Several investigations were done but failed to demonstrate the cause. Exploratory laparotomy
was therefore performed and the cause of partial small bowel obstruction was found to be eosi-
nophilic enteritis.
