Abstract
The association of protein-losing enteropathy, sideropenic anemia, finger clubbing (Herbst triad) and Sandifer syndrome (reflux oesophagitis and head cocking) represents an unusual manifestation of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). Herein we report a patient presenting this complex clinical picture and, in addition, allergic asthma and allergies to several foods. The surgical correction of the gastro-oesophageal reflux resolved the reflux itself and related symptoms.File in questo prodotto:
