title: [Primary hypereosinophilia syndrome manifesting as encephalopathy and vision disorders].
abstract: We report the case of a 60-year-old man who developed visual and cognitive disorders. Investigations confirmed the diagnosis of idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome even though the patient had a history of rectal cancer. The olinical course was favorable after treatment. We discuss the different clinical forms, imaging data and treatments of eosinphilic syndrome.
