Diagnosis of a Lymphoenteric Fistula by Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography Lymphoscintigraphy

Protein losing enteropathy can present as an immunodeficiency. This report describes a rare cause of protein losing enteropathy due to a lymphoenteric fistula and how a novel use of a pre-existing combined imaging technique of single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography lymphoscin...
