  • Title: Intestinal lymphangiectasia: the variability of presentation. A study of five cases.
    Author: Roberts SH, Douglas AP.
    Journal: Q J Med; 1976 Jan; 45(177):39-48. PubMed ID: 1257400.
    Abstract:
    Five patients with intestinal lymphangiectasia are described. They all had evidence of protein-loss from the gut but this was of a variable degree. In four patients the diagnosis was first suggested by the appearances of jejunal biopsy. The factors influencing presentation are discussed as are the possible co-existence of other gastronitestinal disorders with this congenital abnormality. It seems likely that the condition is commoner than hitherto believed.
