A pediatric patient with chronic enteropathy associated with SLCO2A1 who underwent multimodal treatment including several surgeries: a case report
This case highlights the challenges in early diagnosis of CEAS, given its rarity and nonspecific symptoms. However, it should be included in differential diagnosis for atypical clinical findings, with genetic testing as a potential diagnostic tool. Also, long-term immunosuppressive therapy often leads to complications requiring multiple surgeries, so minimally invasive approaches should always be considered. Additionally, the resolution of circular stenosis seen in the final surgery during infliximab treatment indicates a reversible component. Further research for effective treatment for CEAS is essential.
