Here, we report a 22-year-old woman who presented with severe abdominal pain due to pancreatitis. On subsequent work-up, she was found to have idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome. It is an unusual presentation of idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome, which prompted to report this case.</p><p>Birdem Med J 2018; 8(3): 260-262</p> ER -
