OBJECTIVE Congenital diarrhea disorders are a group of genetically diverse and typically autosomal recessive disorders that have yet to be well characterized phenotypically or molecularly. Diagnostic assessments are generally limited to nutritional challenges and histologic evaluation, and many

Paraneoplastic diarrhea is a commonly described complication of gastrointestinal tract or endocrine malignancies. It is an extremely rare complication of lung adenocarcinoma, with only one previously reported case in the literature. A 46-year-old female with newly diagnosed stage IVb lung

This case report describes an unusual presentation of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, which was misdiagnosed as acute gastroenteritis in a 6-year-old girl.

Acute lithium intoxication may occur in circumstances causing kidney failure, when using lithium chronically. This situation may lead to neurological symptoms with coma, gastrointestinal disorders with diarrhea, cardiovascular symptoms with hypotension and metabolic symptoms with hypercalcemia.

Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a known apudoma producing calcitonin, prostaglandins and serotonin. It can present itself as a familial or sporadic form or as part of a multiple endocrine adenomatosis. We present here the case of a patient admitted with a four-year history of diarrhea,

Chronic diarrhea commonly causes hypokalemia. However, life-threatening hypokalemia due to chronic diarrhea has not been reported in the adult caused by chronic ingestion of a fructose beverage. We report an adult patient who had severe hypokalemia from chronic osmotic diarrhea as a result of

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a rare disorder of the renal collecting tubules, characterized by an inability to concentrate urine due to an impaired response to arginine vasopressin (AVP), resulting in dilute urine and polyuria. Causes of NDI are heterogeneous and diagnosing congenital NDI

Congenital Glucose Galactose malabsorption (CGGM) is a rare disorder with limited data from the Arab world. We report the first case of CGGM in Oman.B.S.A two years old female who presented with chronic osmotic diarrhea since birth with hypernatraemic dehydration. B.S was found to have Glucose

A 5 year-old boy presented with fever, sore throat, diarrhea, and general soreness which evolved into encephalitis. His cerebrospinal fluid showed a cell count of 3 mononuclear cells/microliters, protein 2800 mg/l, and growth of Coxsackie virus B1. Cardiorespiratory arrest was noted after a

OBJECTIVE Proprotein convertase 1/3 (PC1/3) deficiency, an autosomal-recessive disorder caused by rare mutations in the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1) gene, has been associated with obesity, severe malabsorptive diarrhea, and certain endocrine abnormalities. Common variants in

Fluid, electrolyte and mineral perturbations are prevalent features of tropical disease. Hemodynamic alterations, fever, nitrogen wasting, and changes in membrane transport and acid-base balance contribute to these perturbations. Models of malaria and leptospirosis have been used to show that common
