- Abstract
- Objective. To analyze neurological manifestations in hypereosinophilic syndrome.
Background. According to Chusid et al (1975), the neurologic manifestations in
hypereosinophilic syndrome were paralysis, seizure, abnon-nal EEG finding, and
neuropathy. According to Weaver(1988), eosinophil-induced neurotoxicities were
characterized by axonal neuropathy, cerebral infarction, and dementia.
Method. We analyzed 29 patients with neurologic manifestations and hypereosinophilia
who visited Kyung-hee medical center during Aug. 1991-Jul. 1994. White blood cells
were differentiated by the Coulter STKS S-plus machine and confirmed manually, if
hypereosinophilia had been detected, by two clinical pathologists. Symptoms, signs,
imaging studies, latoratory studies and biopsies were analyzed.
Result. The mean age was 47.2 years and the mean eosinophil count was 2700/cu mm.
Main symptoms were hemiparesis(31.0%), dysesthesia(20.7%), headache(20.7%),
dysarthria(13.8%), paraparesis(10.3%), seizure(6.9%), myalgia(6.9%), confusion(6.9%),
vertijo(6.9%), diplopia(6.9%), 14patientswereshowntohavecerebrovasculardisease,

Conclusion
. Cerebrovascular diseases (48.3%) were most common neurologic disease in
hypereosmopluc syndrome. Others were meningoencephalitis(17.2%),
polyneuropathy(13.8%), myelopathy(IO.3%), eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome(6.9Yo),
temporal arteritis(3.4%).
