Neurogenic tumors and VIP-induced diarrhea
Journal of Pediatric Surgery
|October 1, 1979
Abstract:
The authors report a case of cervical ganglioneuroblastoma associated with intractable watery diarrhea and hypokalemia. The probable physiopathologic mechanism of the diarrhea and its relation to the vasoactive intestinal peptide secretion (VIP) by the tumor are discussed.
