Refeeding syndrome and rumination in a pediatric patient: A case report reflecting an underdiagnosed pediatric emergency.

Refeeding syndrome (RS) is a potentially life-threatening acute metabolic deterioration, affecting malnourished individuals.

Herein, we describe a case of a 7-year-old patient with rumination syndrome and developmental delay, complicated with RS during the course of an acute gastroenteritis.
