ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Hypereosinophilic syndrome is a rare disease with hypereosinophilia resulting in end-organ dysfunction. Patients present with organ-associated symptoms, and the targets frequently affected are heart, lung, skin, or the nervous system, and the middle ear involvement is rare. CASE REPORT A 30-year-old female with left ear fullness and hearing loss, which persisted for 6months, was finally diagnosed with hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). After high dose systemic steroids treatment, all symptoms improved.CONCLUSION:
Eosinophilic otitis media and HES involving the middle ear share many clinical manifestations. Prompt and accurate differential diagnosis is required for these diseases to ameliorate symptoms and promote recovery.Palabras clave
