Background: Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN) is a common disease that occurs after pharyngitis or dermatitis involvement with streptococcus. This disease is self-limiting. Although the disease has some common symptoms like hypertension, oliguria or anuria, and neurological defects, there have been no reports of a child having severe back pain or constipation up until this point. Case presentation: Here, we represent a child with severe back pain and constipation that was diagnosed as PSGN. Conclusion: Despite several studies on PSGN, attention to different associated symptoms could help practitioners with accurate diagnoses. In addition, made us investigate the disease entity.

The disease complications are vary including rare neurological disorder like, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). Although the disease has some common symptoms like hypertension, oliguria or anuria, and neurological defects, there have been no reports of a child having severe back pain or constipation up until this point. Case presentation: Here, we represent a child with severe back pain and constipation that was diagnosed as PRES syndrome followed PSGN. Conclusion: Despite several studies on PSGN, attention to different and rare associated symptoms could help practitioners with accurate diagnoses. In addition, made us investigate the disease entity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
