We present the case of a 17-year-old female patient who consulted for abdominal distension, vomiting and diarrhea (sometimes with proctorrhagia), of months of evolution.
The patient presented maturational delay, so the interrogation was performed mainly with the family member. The patient has a history of a 10 cm enterectomy at 45 days of life, due to intestinal obstruction caused by jejuno-jejunal atresia. After the episode the evolution was favorable, with recurrent episodes of diarrhea treated empirically with rifaximin, with partial response.
