Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases - Year 2025, Vol 51, Issue 2
Abstract
We reported a case of eosinophilic meningoencephalitis,presenting with symptoms such as depression, headache and memory decline. Physical examination revealed mental tension, slightly slurred speech, and cognitive decline. Laboratory tests indicated a significant increase in eosinophils in both peripheral blood and cerebrospinal fluid, suggesting eosinophilic meningoencephalitis. After treatment with glucocorticoids and cognitive function improvement measures, the patient’s symptoms improved. Here, we summarized its clinical features, laboratory examination, diagnosis and treatment. Then, we discussed the pathogenesis, treatment and differential diagnosis of eosinophilia manifested as meningoencephalitis. In order to improve clinicians’ understanding of eosinophilia complicated with meningoencephalitis and provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.
