Abstract

Delirium, a potentially reversible, acute-onset organic brain syndrome, is a behavioral manifestation of acute brain dysfunction associated with underlying medical conditions. It presents as marked and inconsistent mental changes characterized by dysregulated states of focus and cognition. It can be caused by several different causes, including infections, drugs, toxins, metabolic disorders, and a number of other medical conditions. This case report presents a 4-year-old girl with short bowel syndrome, who developed hyperactive delirium due to acute metabolic acidosis.
