Abstract

We report a case of acute intermittent porphyria presenting with variable symptoms and signs such as hypertention, polyneuropathy, syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone and cerebral infarction. A 47 year-old female patient entered hospital with abdominal pain followed by generalized seizure. She was diagnosed to have acute intermittent porphyria in consequence of Watson-Schwartz test and ${\delta}$-ALA in 24 hours urine, but died of respiratory failure.

저자들은 복통과 고혈압으로 입원하여 급성간헐성 포르피리아증으로 진단된 47세 여자 환자에서 고혈압, 말초 신경장애, 항이뇨호르몬 부적절분비증, 뇌경색을 동반한 다양한 임상양상을 보인 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
