A Novel Case of SHORT Syndrome Presenting with Very Early Onset Inflammatory Bowel Disease (VEO-IBD)
Abstract
Herein we report a novel case of SHORT syndrome with very early onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-
IBD). He presented with hematochezia since the first months of life for which he was diagnosed with cow
milk allergy that did not respond to treatment. He underwent a colonoscopy confirming the diagnosis of
ulcerative colitis (UC). His past medical history was also remarkable with delayed growth since 6 months
of age and frequent hospitalizations due to recurrent fever, gastroenteritis, and anemia with no history of
recurrent infectious episodes. Despite appropriate treatment for UC and partial improvement in his bowel
habits and nutrition, there was no improvement in his growth status and he was found to have failure to
thrive. The patient further underwent genetic test evaluation and a novel heterozygous missense mutation
was detected in the PIK3R1 gene (c.2076A>C, P. Lys692Asn) confirming the diagnosis of SHORT syndrome.
He got appropriate treatment and is currently doing well, in good condition and is under regular monthly
follow-up.
