This case report highlights the efficacy of high-dose thiamine (2\u2005mg\/kg IV) in resolving refractory RS in a preterm IUGR infant (34 weeks, 1,415\u2005g) unresponsive to standard electrolyte correction. Despite gradual caloric reintroduction and parenteral supplementation, the infant exhibited persistent hypophosphatemia (3.0\u2005mmol\/kg\/day IV requirement), hypokalemia (4.3\u2005mmol\/kg\/day IV requirement), and thrombocytopenia (nadir 27\u2009\u00d7\u200910\n                    <jats:sup>9<\/jats:sup>\n                    \/L). Thiamine administration led to rapid clinical improvement within 4\u2005h, with electrolyte normalization (potassium: 2.19\u21924.41\u2005mmol\/L; phosphorus: 0.69 \u21922.35\u2005mmol\/L) and platelet recovery (27\u2192112\u2009\u00d7\u200910\n                    <jats:sup>9<\/jats:sup>\n                    \/L). The findings suggest thiamine deficiency may underlie refractory RS in IUGR neonates, advocating for early supplementation in high-risk cases. Further research is needed to optimize dosing and validate thiamine's role in RS management.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2025.1594715","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,31]],"date-time":"2025-07-31T05:39:10Z","timestamp":1753940350000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Case Report: A complicated case of neonatal refeeding syndrome following intrauterine growth restriction corrected by high dose thiamine supplementation"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Yixiang","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hongxun","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lizhong","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhongyue","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3977","DOI":"10.3109\/14767058.2016.1152249","article-title":"Intrauterine growth restriction - part 1","volume":"29","author":"Sharma","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1077","DOI":"10.1111\/apa.13093","article-title":"Extremely preterm infants who are small for gestational age have a high risk of early hypophosphatemia and hypokalemia","volume":"104","author":"Boubred","year":"2015","journal-title":"Acta Paediatr"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"717","DOI":"10.1038\/jp.2013.28","article-title":"Refeeding syndrome in very-low-birth-weight intrauterine growth-restricted neonates","volume":"33","author":"Ross","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Perinatol"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"584","DOI":"10.1002\/ncp.10491","article-title":"Erratum: Joshua S.
