Abstract :
We presented an 18-month old female patient known as failure-to-thrive
(FTT) with poor weight gain during the first postpartum weeks. After 20
days of birth, she manifested lethargy, fatigue, fever, and diarrhea and
was admitted to the hospital with acute colitis and rectovaginal fistula.
She was later fixed for the fistula and underwent upper gastrointestinal
(GI) endoscopy, abdominopelvic sonography and colonoscopy and was
eventually diagnosed with very-early-onset inflammatory bowel disease
(VEO-IBD).
