Abstract

Idiopathic capillary leak syndrome, also known as Clarkson's Disease, is a rare cause of hypovolemic shock that physicians should be aware of. It is characterized by a state of hypovolemia with features of widespread fluid third spacing and poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Here, we present a challenging case of a 36-year-old woman who experienced recurrent episodes of widespread edema and hypovolemic shock symptoms suggestive of capillary leak syndrome. The resuscitative and therapeutic measures employed in managing this disease are described in this case report. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
