We report a patient with Crohn's disease who suffered several generalized convulsions. He was studied with cerebral image techniques and neurophysiologic tests without getting the aetiology of the convulsions. A severe depletion in magnesium levels was suspected at the time of the initial evaluation by the Nutritional Team Group. Low serum magnesium levels were confirmed in the first blood test. Convulsions disappeared when magnesium was normalised by intravenous infusion. It is necessary for specialist physicians to be on the alert of severe complications of nutrients deficiency and that this kind of patients should be checked by the Nutrition Team.
我们报告了一名患有克罗恩病且发生多次全身性惊厥的患者。我们运用脑部成像技术和神经生理学测试对其进行了研究，但未找出惊厥的病因。营养团队在初次评估时怀疑存在严重的镁缺乏。首次血液检测证实血清镁水平较低。通过静脉输注使镁水平恢复正常后，惊厥消失。专科医生有必要警惕营养素缺乏的严重并发症，并且这类患者应由营养团队进行检查。
