She had a history of abdominal pain and diarrhea since 8 months for which she has been extensively investigated including a positron emission tomography (PET) scan and an ileal biopsy which showed chronic granulomatous inflammation with eosinophils. Ocular examination revealed multiple bilateral conjunctival granulomas. Conjunctival biopsies revealed granulomatous inflammation with plenty of eosinophils and flame figure configuration. Peripheral blood smear showed increased absolute eosinophil count and eosinophilia. Stool analysis was normal. She did not have abdominal symptoms or recurrence of granulomas.
