Abstract
Tricho-hepato-enteric syndrome (THES), also known as syndromic diarrhea, is a rare genetic disorder that causes intractable diarrhea, hair anomalies, facial dysmorphism, and liver abnormalities. Herein, we report the case of an eight-month-old male who was referred to our hospital due to symptoms of diarrhea, vomiting, and insufficient weight gain. The child was born via cesarean section following an uncomplicated pregnancy, with no history of admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Since birth, the patient has been experiencing diarrhea and inadequate weight gain, necessitating multiple hospital admissions. Upon evaluation, genetic testing confirmed the diagnosis of THES. The management strategy included a variety of nutritional interventions and supportive care measures. Currently, the patient is in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and continuous supportive care. This case underscores the complexity of diagnosing and managing THES, highlighting the need for comprehensive care and close monitoring of the patient's condition.
