Carcinoid Syndrome Animation: Pathophysiology, Clinical manifestations, Diagnosis and Treatment

✨ Carcinoid syndrome is a fascinating and sometimes dramatic clinical condition triggered by serotonin-secreting neuroendocrine tumors (most commonly arising in the small intestine or lungs). Excess serotonin released into the bloodstream causes classic symptoms including flushing of the skin, diarrhea, and bronchospasm 🩺. Patients may also experience wheezing, right-sided valvular heart lesions, and abdominal cramping as the syndrome progresses. The key factor lies in the tumor cells producing and releasing vasoactive substances, which bypass hepatic metabolism (especially if metastases have reached the liver). Detecting elevated urinary 5-HIAA levels (a metabolite of serotonin) and imaging studies can help confirm the diagnosis 🔬. #CarcinoidSyndrome #NeuroendocrineTumors #Serotonin #Flushing #Diarrhea #Bronchospasm #MedicalNotes #MedSchool #USMLE #NEETPG #MBBS #BoardExams #ClinicalMedicine #Pathophysiology #GITumors #CarcinoidSyndromeExplained
