Key result
Stroke with hypereosinophilic syndrome features multiple infarctions in ~80% of cases and frequent watershed involvement.
Stroke in patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome is predominantly characterized by multiple infarctions in watershed areas rather than large proximal vessel occlusion.

Watershed infarcts predominate in HES stroke; hypothesis-generating for targeted therapies, prospective studies needed.
Ono et al. (2021) conducted a review in Stroke with hypereosinophilic syndrome (n=97). Hypereosinophilic syndrome was evaluated on Clinical features, radiological findings, and outcomes including mortality and recovery rates. Stroke with hypereosinophilic syndrome was characterized by multiple infarctions (80%) and watershed area involvement (57%), with an overall mortality rate of 11%.
