Abstract

VEIGA CABELLO, R. et al. Indifferentiated rheumatism and/or epileptic flatulence. An. Med. Interna (Madrid) [online]. 2003, vol.20, n.7, pp.39-41. ISSN 0212-7199.

A clinical case study of a 50 year-old woman brought to the Rhematology Department is presented, who showed clinical dry syndrome with immune disorders (not currently defined) and developed tumors (benign at present) and analytical autoimmunity with positive antitopoisomerase type I (formerly Scl70) confirmed. The clinical case is commented  and the metheorism causes are discussed, among it, a possible variation of abdominal epilepsy as ictal flatulence, secondary to a meningioma of the right brain convexity.

Keywords : Autoimmunity; Abdominal epilepsy; Flatulence.
