Severe Idiopathic Secretory Diarrhoea With a Profound Sustained Response to Somatostatin Analogues: A Case Report
We present a rare case of chronic secretory diarrhoea with suspected but unproven VIPoma, demonstrating sustained and reproducible response to somatostatin analogue therapy. This case supports the consideration of therapeutic trials of somatostatin analogues in refractory secretory diarrhoea of unknown origin.
