Waldmann's disease, or primary intestinal lymphangiectasia, is an unusual cause of protein-losing enteropathy primarily characterized by lymphopenia, hypoalbuminemia, and hypogammaglobulinemia. However, variable clinical presentations result dilemmas in diagnosis and effective management. We present a toddler diagnosed with Waldmann's disease managed with a high-protein diet and medium-chain triglyceride supplementation.
