Unusual Case Report

Objective: Olmesartan-induced enteropathy consists a syndrome that mimics celiac disease both clinically and histologically. Cases of this entity have sporadically been reported since 2012 and are usually characterized by severe diarrhea and malabsorption, followed by significant weight loss. Case Report: Herein, we report an uncommon case of this syndrome, where weight loss preceded several months the onset of gastrointestinal symptoms. Discussion and Conclusion: Physicians should be aware of unexplained weight loss in patients taking olmesartan, as prompt discontinuation of the drug may prevent the deleterious consequences of malabsorption.

However, awareness of its diagnosis and management amongst physicians remains modest. We report a case of asymptomatic sinus bradycardia in a 41-year-old woman who shed 19.5 kg/m2 in 4 months following bariatric surgery. The pathophysiology, diagnostics and management of post-bariatric surgery sinus bradycardia is briefly discussed.
