    IntroductionPrimary intestinal lymphangiectasias are often associated with lymphoedema.ObservationThe diagnosis was performed at 4 months when Maxime presented with lymphoedema, diarrhea, hypoprotidemia and hypolipemia. Duodenum biopsies revealed intestinal lymphangiectasias. An hyperprotidic and low fat diet, medium chain triglyceride-supplemented and an elastic contention allowed a decline of the oedemas.DiscussionWe report one case of Waldman's disease. It shows very well the typical circumstances of diagnosis in this disease and the two types of oedema (lymphoedema and hypoprotidic oedema).
