Among gastrointestinal disorders, to this day, many diseases are insufficiently studied. One of these under-researched conditions is eosinophilic gastroenteritis. The underlying cause of this rare disease is an inflammatory process affecting a large section of the alimentary tract – mainly the stomach and small intestine. This condition presents with non-specific clinical symptoms. Due to similarities between the initial symptoms and those of other prevalent gastrointestinal conditions, patients often initially receive an inaccurate diagnosis, leading to ineffective treatment and a significant challenge for physicians. Unfortunately, even if the diagnosis is made, the treatment process remains challenging. Due to the lack of precise recommendations regarding the medical approach, some individuals need to modify their therapy multiple times before the symptoms resolve. This systematic review is based on the PubMed database and concentrates on articles published between 2014 and 2024, focusing on case reports of patients under 18 years of age. The main aim was to expand the knowledge regarding the etiology, symptoms, diagnostic methods, and treatment approaches for eosinophilic gastroenteritis .
