Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. Three cases of eosinophilic gastroenteritis presenting as intestinal obstruction are reported. Two patients had stenotic lesions in the jejunum whereas the ileum was involved in the third. None had peripheral eosinophilia. All underwent resection-anastomosis of the bowel and are symptom-free at follow-up ranging from 8 months to 6 years.
