INTRODUCTION: Idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (ISCLS) is rarely seen,
and presents with recurrent episodes of hypotension, shock, hemoconcentration,
and hypoproteinemia. The main pathology is the dysfunction of the vascular
endothelium, and it is characterized by an increase of capillary permeability
that is accompanied by the loss of intravascular fluid and protein. CASE
PRESENTATION: We present a 58-year-old female who presented with peripheral
edema, leg pain, and syncope at the emergency department. Interestingly
demyemilising neuropathy, which is a rare finding, ensued on day 4. She is still
being treated using intravenous immunoglobulin therapy. CONCLUSIONS: The early
signs and symptoms of ISCLS may be subtle; therefore the diagnosis can easily be
missed and prompt treatment of the syndrome may be postponed. Thus, the clinician
must consider ISCLS in differential diagnosis in cases of hypotension,
hemoconcentration, and hypoalbuminemia.
