A 15-year-old boy who suffered from leg edema of unknown origin is described. The exclusion of any other cause for the edema, the clinical features, and the results of the dynamic tests performed suggested the diagnosis of "idiopathic edema," a syndrome described previously in women only. Spironolactone therapy brought about the disappearance of the edema and enabled the patient to return to his normal activities. This case report suggests that "idiopathic edema" is a syndrome common to both sexes, and is therefore not related to estrogen disturbances.
本文描述了一名15岁不明原因腿部水肿的男孩。排除了水肿的其他病因后，其临床特征及动态试验结果提示诊断为“特发性水肿”，这是一种此前仅在女性中描述过的综合征。螺内酯治疗使水肿消失，患者能够恢复正常活动。该病例报告表明，“特发性水肿”是一种男女共有的综合征，因此与雌激素紊乱无关。
