Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) is a not common inflammatory disorder of benign aetiology attacks mainly the stomach and the small bowel. As per Klein’s classification it has into three types. One is mucosal and others are muscular and serosal. Steroid is the game changer in the treatment of EGE represents another area of debate. EGE is a chronic inflammatory disorder of GI tract ,can present as many GI diseases. Its diagnosis is difficult and may need multiple investigation like imaging ,endoscopy and histopathological correlation with clinical diagnosis. As per disease severity and mode of clinical features treatment needed .most the patient needs non-operative treatment including short course of steroids and judicious use of surgery. Clinical presentation is usually not typical as it depends on part and layer of bowel affected. Main clinical feature nonspecific , commonest is pain in abdomen. Intestinal obstruction is a rare presentation. Gastric outlet obstruction due benign diseases is rare and due to EGE is very rare. Present case is a very rare presentation of EGE as gastric outlet obstruction. Aim behind reporting this case is sensitize clinician about this rare disease phenomenon and occasional need of surgery in resistant and recurrent cases contrary to common practice of conservative treatment for EGE .
