“…However, peripheral eosinophilia in eosinophilic gastroenteritis ranges from 13–55%, higher than that usually seen in Ménétrier's disease [15]. Burns and Gay postulated an allergic cause as the basis of peripheral eosinophilia and eosinophilic mucosal infiltrate [16].…”

Ménétrier's disease is one of the rarest protein-losing gastropathies in childhood. It is characterized clinically by non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms and edema, biochemically by hypoalbuminemia, and pathologically by enlarged gastric folds. In adults, this disease can be devastating with significant morbidity and mortality. In childhood, it is a self-limiting, transient and benign illness. Its treatment is largely supportive with total parenteral nutrition (TPN) while oral intake is encouraged. Acute onset of vomiting in healthy school age children can be initially explained by acute viral gastroenteritis. However, persistent vomiting associated with hematemesis and severe abdominal pain should warrant further work-up. This case report illustrates a self-limiting and rare cause of protein-losing enteropathy called Ménétrier's disease that presented with several variant clinical features not typically described in association with this entity.

“…endocrinological. and mechanical fac- tors are mentioned, but in childhood an allergic etiology seems most probable (4,5,(12)(13)(14). Our patient also had increased levels of IgE in his serum (lgE, 230 U/L), which also supports this theory.…”

“…Mais comum em adultos, é muito rara em crianças, com menos de 50 casos descritos, dos quais a maior parte é do gênero masculino. Nas crianças, seu início é súbito, com duração média de cinco semanas e recuperação por vezes espontânea, o que favorece a raridade diagnóstica (2,(3)(4)(5)(6) . A etiologia é desconhecida, mas, em alguns casos, parece relacionada à reação alérgica à proteína alimentar (7) ou à infecção por citomegalovírus (1,8,9) , havendo também relatos de casos associados à infecção por Helicobacter pylori (10) , Mycoplasma pneumoniae (11) e um caso descrito após a vacinação oral contra poliomielite (12) .…”

OBJETIVO: Relatar um caso de menina com doença de Ménétrier. DESCRIÇÃO DO CASO: Menina de dez anos, admitida com história de vômitos, diarréia, distensão e dor abdominal intermitentes há três dias. A suspeita foi apendicite e a paciente foi submetida à laparotomia, com achado de ascite e adenomegalia mesentérica. No pós-operatório, evoluiu com edema generalizado, ascite e derrame pleural. Os exames complementares e a evolução clínica demonstraram tratar-se de doença de Ménétrier. COMENTÁRIOS: O quadro clínico e os exames solicitados (alfa-1-antitripsina fecal aumentada, mucosa gástrica tipo fúndica com moderado grau de hiperplasia do epitélio luminal e foveolar e seriografia com hipertrofia do pregueado mucoso gástrico) confirmaram a doença de Ménétrier.
