Abstract

A 17-year-old girl with a history of anxiety and emotional dysregulation presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain, weight loss, dizziness, and vomiting. She had previously been prescribed several medications for ongoing somatic and psychiatric complaints, but her symptoms continued to escalate. She was noted to have significant weight loss, orthostatic hypotension, a prolonged QTc on electrocardiogram, and a serum sodium of 130 mEq/L. She was admitted with concern for an eating disorder. While inpatient, her symptoms continued to evolve, and a test was sent that revealed her underlying diagnosis.
