Resumo(s)
An eight-year-old boy, with Weaver Syndrome, was referred
to the Gastroenterology Unit because of abdominal pain, more frequently localized to the right lower abdominal quadrant, weight
loss and diarrhoea (without faecal mucus or blood) throughout
the last three months. Slight macrocephly and pain on the right
iliac fossa were the only abnormalities on physical examination.
There was mild anemia, and elevation of globular sedimentation
rate, protein C and orosomucoide. ASCA and faecal calprotectine
were above the normal range. Upper endoscopy and colonoscopy
were normal, and videocapsule enteroscopy showed lesions
suggestive of Crohn’s disease of the ileum. The patient was
treated with messalazine and became asymptomatic. Laboratory
parameters were normal within two months.
