Core Tip |
In this case report, a 19-year-old Chinese male patient complained of recurrent limb convulsions for 1 year. Laboratory investigations revealed low levels of calcium and magnesium along with hypoproteinemia and high parathyroid hormone levels, but the patient had no limbs edema, which is rear in primary intestinal lymphangiectasia cases. Differential diagnosis is difficult in such case. Careful analysis and examination results finally enabled the patient to receive effective treatment after a definite diagnosis. |
