Abstract
A 7-year-old patient with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism, Addison's disease, malabsorption, and unilateral diaphragmatic flutter synchronous with the heart beat (SDF) is reported. The flutter occurred shortly after the onset of malabsorption syndrome and disappeared after appropriate correction of serum magnesium, calcium, and Potassium levels. This unusual condition should be considered in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pulsations. The exact biochemical abnormalities that permit synchronous diaphragmatic flutter remain to be defined.
