{Abstract}: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) eosinophilia is associated with a narrow differential, primarily including parasitic and fungal infections, neoplasm, and chemical meningitis. It has rarely been reported in neuroinflammatory conditions including as a finding of CSF cytology in two autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) astrocytopathy cases. Here we describe a case of autoimmune GFAP astrocytopathy with classic clinical and radiographic features as well as presence of eosinophils in the CSF. This case highlights a potential association of eosinophils in the CSF with autoimmune GFAP astrocytopathy, which may suggest its inclusion in the differential diagnosis of eosinophilic meningitis, encephalitis, or myelitis.
