Abstract
ALONSO-CANAL, Laura; SANTOS RODRIGUEZ, Andrés; GIL-FOURNIER-ESQUERRA, Nuria and GARCIA-CENTENO, Pilar. Wilkie’s and Nutcracker’s syndromes overlapping a case of functional dyspepsia. Rev. gastroenterol. Perú [online]. 2023, vol.43, n.1, pp.74-76. Epub Apr 11, 2023. ISSN 1022-5129. http://dx.doi.org/10.47892/rgp.2023.431.1467.
We present the case of a patient suffering from a mixed-type functional dyspepsia who markedly reduced his diet to improve his symptoms leading him to malnourishment and a subsequent Wilkie’s and Nutcracker’s syndromes which exacerbated his pain. Our aim by presenting this case is to raise awareness as to what extent a so-called functional dyspepsia can evolve and of the possible overlap with these two entities in case of severe malnutrition.
