  • Descrição: A 16-year-old female who was attended as an outpatient reported localized, acute abdominal pain with vomiting, symmetrical motor weakness, and burning sensation in both arms and legs. Her medical history showed irrational behavior, repeated admissions at the emergency units of many other reference hospitals, where she had been investigated for celiac disease and treated with analgesics for pain events. Her clinical condition remained unchanged despite the use of many oral analgesics. In those admissions, she showed dysautonomia, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Diagnosis investigation disclosed a notable serum hyponatremia (133.7 mEq/L). She was referred for endoscopy and the histopathological lesion of the antrum in the stomach did not show neoplastic lesions. Colonoscopy, pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), total abdominal computed tomography, and video laparoscopy were without significant abnormalities. Suspicion of acute intermittent porphyria was confirmed by quantitative urine porphobilinogen-level tests and genetic analysis. Patient was successfully treated with intravenous infusion of glucose and hemin therapy.
