Spontaneous remission of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome without immunosuppressive medication in the context of decompensated cirrhosis: A case report

Clin Case Rep. 2024 Jun 3;12(6):e8985. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.8985. eCollection 2024 Jun.

Abstract

We present a case of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome in a patient with decompensated cirrhosis who had successful induction of remission with nutritional supplementation alone. We propose that early institution of high-protein, high-energy enteral supplementation should be offered to all patients, especially those with compelling contraindications to immunosuppression.

Keywords: Cronkhite–Canada syndrome; decompensated cirrhosis; hamartomatous polyposis syndromes; hematochezia; venous thrombosis.
