Unfortunately, the subtle, but important clinical features of this syndrome due to involvement of other systems go unrecognized, leading to lot a morbidity for the patient. Hence, we conducted conducted review to highlight the evidence about various complications due to this syndome.

But the silver lining is, all of them can be prevented by appropriate patient education, life style changes and other non pharmacologic intevention itself.
