“…The discrepancy between the normal ultrasound, including normal liver size-for-age, and the hepatomegaly apparent on CT may indicate that reference ranges for organ size-for-age are not appropriate for children, who are much smaller than their age-matched peers. 22 Our patient's significant weight gain on oral feeds during his short initial hospitalization despite an underlying metabolic condition, causing poor weight gain underscores the need for caution, when interpreting weight changes over short periods of time. Inborn errors of metabolism are a rare cause of FTT, but should be considered in patients with organomegaly, among other conditions.…”

The patient is a term 6-month-old male, who presented with failure to thrive since birth. History was remarkable for suspected milk and soy protein allergy, gastroesophageal reflux, constipation, and abdominal distension that was present since birth. He was losing weight despite oral intake of over 100 kcal/kg per day. Prior workup including laboratory studies, abdominal X-ray, upper gastrointestinal series with fluoroscopy, barium enema, and abdominal ultrasound were all within normal limits. The patient's history, diagnostic evaluation, and final diagnosis are revealed. This case highlights a rare condition presenting as failure to thrive, a common problem with a wide differential diagnosis.
