ABSTRACT
Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is characterized by eosinophilia associated with organ damage. The disorder has substantial clinical heterogeneity and a highly variable prognosis. This report describes an interesting autopsy case of a 62-year-old lady presenting with itching and stroke-like symptoms. She was diagnosed with an "idiopathic" variant of HES after a thorough exclusion of all known causes. Despite adequate measures, she deteriorated rapidly. At autopsy, acute cerebral infarcts were identified in multiple vascular territories including infarcts in watershed areas. Additionally, her heart showed classic pathological features of eosinophilic myocarditis spanning all three stages.
