McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome is a rare but recognised complication of hypersecretory rectosigmoid villous adenoma. Fluid and electrolyte imbalances require close monitoring because of large-volume losses of water, sodium and potassium. We report an unusual presentation of the syndrome associated with the development of acute pseudo-obstruction of the colon, presumably due to electrolyte dysfunction and acute renal failure.
麦克基特里克-惠洛克综合征是直肠乙状结肠绒毛状腺瘤高分泌性的一种罕见但已被认识到的并发症。由于大量水、钠和钾的丢失，需要密切监测液体和电解质平衡。我们报告了一种不常见的综合征表现，伴有结肠急性假性梗阻的发展，推测是由于电解质功能障碍和急性肾衰竭引起的。
