Abstract

A 66-year-old male, who was previously functionally independent, presented with cerebellar ataxia and cognitive impairment following hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) complicated by multiple strokes. This patient highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment, and of referring patients with multiple HES-related strokes for multidisciplinary neurological rehabilitation.
