Abstract
Eosinophilic cystitis is a rare entity characterized by inflammations with eosinophilic infiltration of the bladder wall. It appears infrequently in children, and there are few case reports in medical literature. This paper presents the case of a 24-month-old patient diagnosed with this condition, the treatment that has been established for it, and a review of the literatura.
