Spontaneous remission of Cronkhite–Canada syndrome without immunosuppressive medication in the context of decompensated cirrhosis: A case report

Abstract

Key Clinical Message We present a case of Cronkhite–Canada syndrome in a patient with decompensated cirrhosis who had successful induction of remission with nutritional supplementation alone. We propose that early institution of high‐protein, high‐energy enteral supplementation should be offered to all patients, especially those with compelling contraindications to immunosuppression.
