An 18-year-old boy with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva lost weight at an accelerated rate due to gastrointestinal symptoms, resulting in a weight loss of 36 kg in 1 year. His first outpatient abdominal computed tomography (CT) result was unremarkable. Since the patient had biliary vomiting during hospitalization, his CT was reexamined, and the superior mesenteric artery syndrome diagnosis was confirmed. Thus, clinicians must consider superior mesenteric artery syndrome when presented with weight loss.
一名患有进行性骨化性纤维发育不良的18岁男孩因胃肠道症状体重加速下降,1年内体重减轻了36千克。他首次门诊腹部计算机断层扫描(CT)结果无异常。由于该患者住院期间出现胆汁性呕吐,对其CT进行了复查,确诊为肠系膜上动脉综合征。因此,临床医生在面对体重减轻的情况时必须考虑肠系膜上动脉综合征。
