Eosinophilia presented as a rare cause of recurrent strokes and cardiac and arterial thrombosis in a pediatric patient.
Case Report (n=1)
Eosinophilia should be considered as a rare potential cause of arterial thrombosis and cardioembolic stroke in children.
May support eosinophilia evaluation in unexplained pediatric stroke; hypothesis-generating case report requiring confirmation before practice change.
Eosinophilia has been reported as a very rare cause of stroke in children. The thrombotic event may be either due to cardiac damage induced by eosinophils and their granular protein, that is, the major basic protein, or the systemic hypercoagulable state induced by eosinophilia. We report here a case of eosinophilia whose initial presentation was recurrent strokes and cardiac and arterial thrombosis.
