Large Duodenal Hematoma Causing an Ileus after an Endoscopic Duodenal Biopsy in a 6-Year-Old Child: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT: Intramural duodenal hematoma (IDH) in children is a rare complication after esophagogastroduodenoscopy. It is commonly described in patients with additional disorders or risk factors, such as coagulopathy. We present a case of a previously healthy 6-year-old boy with a large obstructing intramural duodenal hematoma and concomitant pancreatitis after an elective esophagogastroduodenoscopy. The patient presented with typical symptoms of an IDH, such as abdominal pain and distension, nausea and vomiting. IDH was diagnosed using ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging examination. Conservative management with gastric decompression using a nasogastric feeding tube, bowel rest, total parenteral nutrition and analgesia was performed. After three weeks, the patient was discharged from the hospital without any complaints. Interventional management of IDH in pediatric patients with a lack of response to conservative therapy or complicating IDH should be discussed in an interdisciplinary team.

Posterior shoulder dislocation in a 10-year-old child: Case report.

Project description:IntroductionShoulder dislocation is the most common type of all joints dislocations. It occurs when there is separation in the glenohumeral joint. Posterior dislocation accounts for less than 4% of all shoulder dislocations. In fact, it is misdiagnosed in 60-79% of the patients in the initial presentation. In children a posterior shoulder dislocation is usually caused by a congenital anomaly or in those who have ligamentous laxity. Traumatic posterior shoulder dislocation without fracture of the proximal humeral epiphysis in children is very rare, and only few cases have been reported.Case presentationThis report presents a rare case of a 10-year-old child with a traumatic posterior shoulder dislocation without fracture.Discussionthis patient present with a rare posterior dislocation, which is direct and without fracture. It does not present with a marked deformity and it is hard to detect without a complete physical examination and radiographic series.ConclusionPosterior shoulder dislocations are rare, and even more rare in children without fractures. It is easily missed and needs careful history taking, physical exam and correct x-ray view to reach the diagnosis.

Massive bleeding from a duodenal ulcer in a child with influenza infection: A case report of endoscopic findings.

Project description:Gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation following influenza infection is rare. We encountered a pediatric case of hemorrhagic duodenal ulcer following influenza A infection. The patient was a 1-year and 4-month-old boy who was diagnosed with influenza A infection and treated with laninamivir octanoate. After inhalation, he had diarrhea, poor appetite, and melena. The next day, he had hematochezia and developed hemorrhagic shock. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed extravasation in the descending part of the duodenum. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed spurting bleeding from a Dieulafoy's lesion on the oral side of the major papilla, and he underwent hemostasis by clipping. From the bulb to the descending part of the duodenum, the mucosa appeared atrophic with spotty redness on the circular folds and multiple and irregularly shaped erosions. Almost all mucosal lesions had healed by the eighth day, and he was monitored as an outpatient for more than one year without re-bleeding. Intestinal ischemia, viral invasion, and drug reaction of laninamivir octanoate may be involved in duodenal mucosal injury. Acute duodenal ulcers may occur in children with influenza infection, especially young children.

Gastroblastoma in a 5-year-old child: a case report and literature review.

Project description:BackgroundGastroblastoma is an extremely rare stomach tumor with a biphasic cell morphology of epithelioid and spindle cells. Due to the low incidence rate and the lack of specific clinical characteristics, it is easy to misdiagnose. Detailed imaging analysis is also unavailable. At present, we reported a case of gastroblastoma to analyze its clinical and imaging characteristics. In addition, we reviewed the imaging findings, current diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of gastroblastoma.Case presentationA 5-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital with upper abdominal pain and melena. Endoscopic examination showed a protuberant submucosal mass on the greater curvature of the gastric body. Abdominal ultrasonography and an abdominal enhanced computed tomography further confirmed the mass. The patient was pathologically diagnosed with gastroblastoma after radical surgery in February 2021.ConclusionWe described a rare case of gastroblastoma and may provide a new perspective on imaging diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of this tumor. Gastroblastoma tends to occur in male patients, typically affects young people, and has low malignant potential and a low rate of recurrence and metastasis. Gastroblastoma usually arises in the gastric muscularis propria with hypoecogenic and submucosal characteristics in ultrasound examination and significant enhancement in computed tomography (CT) scan. Surgical resection and regular follow-up after surgery are the main management of the disease. Clinicians should strengthen the understanding of this rare tumor for early detection and treatment.

Endoscopic retrieval of gastric trichophytobezoar: Case report of a 12-year-old girl with trichophagia.

Project description:Trichophytobezoars, which are composed of hair and plant fibers, are usually located in the stomach. They are often associated with trichophagia and trichotillomania. The most commonly reported methods of trichophytobezoar treatment are open surgery and laparoscopic retrieval; there are few reports of endoscopic removal of trichophytobezoars.Twelve-year-old girl presented with a 3-day history of increasing upper abdominal pain, anorexia, and postprandial emesis. She had a 3-year history of pulling out and eating her own hair. Endoscopic examination showed a large intragastric trichophytobezoar measuring 10.5?cm?×?3.5?cm in size, with extension of a few hairs through the pylorus.The trichophytobezoar was packed with hair fibers and contained a hard core of mixed hair and vegetable fibers. After the core was cut, the trichophytobezoar was fragmented into pieces with the alternating use of a polypectomy snare and argon plasma coagulation. A small amount of hair and nondigestible food fibers was removed with grasping forceps during the initial procedure. The remaining hairball was loosened with biopsy forceps and was injected with sodium bicarbonate solution. The trichophytobezoar was removed completely at repeat endoscopy 5 days later. After 6 months of psychological intervention, the patient had no recurrence of trichophagia or trichophytobezoar.Endoscopy with sodium bicarbonate injection is an effective and minimally invasive method of retrieving a gastric trichophytobezoar.

Malignant Transformation of Grade II Ependymoma in a 2-Year-Old Child: Case Report.

Project description:Ependymomas are central nervous system neoplasms that account for a third of all posterior fossa tumors in children. The most common location for infratentorial ependymoma is within the fourth ventricle. We present a case report of malignant transformation of an infratentorial grade II ependymoma in a 2-year-old child who presented with vomiting and visual disturbance. An infratentorial brain tumor in the left cerebellar area was totally removed, and the initial pathologic diagnosis was grade II ependymoma. The tumor recurred aggressively 1 year later; subtotal removal and adjuvant chemotherapy were performed. After a second operation, a histopathologic study was performed. The second specimen was defined as a grade III anaplastic ependymoma. Transformation to grade III anaplastic ependymoma is possible for a grade II ependymoma but very rare. The diagnosis of the anaplastic variant of intracranial ependymomas is difficult. Surgical treatment remains the mainstay of the treatment for all cases. Ependymomas in young infants have a worse prognosis than older children, so we need individual clinical evaluation and close follow-up of such cases. This article highlights the requirement of a close follow-up for grade II ependymomas for anaplastic transformation.

Rare case of duodenal tuberculosis causing gastric outlet obstruction, a case report.

Project description:Introduction and importanceIntestinal tuberculosis (TB) comprises of about 5 % of all cases of tuberculosis in susceptible communities. Intestinal tuberculosis establishes itself in the lymphoid follicles of the Peyer's patches and spreads to the submucosal and subserosal planes. A gastroduodenal location for TB is very rare even in patients with pulmonary TB and gastroduodenal TB lesions are usually secondary.Case presentationA 48 year old Ethiopian patient presented with non-bilious, non-projectile vomiting of ingested matter which progressively worsens over time. Associated with this he had burning type of epigastric pain for which he had been treated with antiulcer drugs on multiple occasion, but he had no improvement. The vomiting worsened over the past year and he had unquantified but significant weight loss. Subsequently the patient was diagnosed with duodenal TB and was treated with antituberculous drugs according to the national protocol for six months and the above symptoms subsided. The patient had significant weight gain after starting treatment.Clinical discussionThe commonest site for gastro-intestinal tuberculosis (TB) is the ileocecal region and duodenal tuberculosis constitutes around 2 % of cases of abdominal tuberculosis. A high index of suspicion for tuberculosis is required in any patient with gastrointestinal symptoms living in endemic areas.ConclusionWe suggest that a diagnosis of duodenal tuberculosis should always be considered in young patients presenting with gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) or unresponsive or relapsing dyspepsia, in areas where tuberculosis is endemic.

Pseudomonas oryzihabitans sepsis in a 1-year-old child with multiple skin rashes: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundPseudomonas oryzihabitans is a Pseudomonas bacterial organism rarely implicated in human infections. The bacterium has been isolated in a few reported cases of neurosurgical infections and patients with end-stage cirrhosis, sickle cell disease, and community-acquired urinary tract infections. Limited information exists in developing countries, however, because of the lack of advanced microbiological tools for identification and characterization of this bacterium. This case report describes the isolation of a rare Pseudomonas bacterium in a patient presenting with sepsis and skin infection.Case presentationA 1-year-old girl was presented to a hospital in the northeastern part of Ghana with a 1-week history of pustular rashes on her scalp and neck, which occasionally ruptured, along with discharge of yellowish purulent fluid. The child is of Mole-Dagbon ethnicity and hails from the northern part of Ghana. Pseudomonas oryzihabitans was identified in the patient's blood culture using the 16S ribosomal deoxyribonucleic acid sequencing technique. The rash on the patient's scalp and skin resolved after continuous treatment with gentamicin while her condition improved clinically.ConclusionsThis finding suggests the potential of this bacterium to cause disease in unsuspected situations and emphasizes the need to have evidence for the use of the appropriate antibiotic in clinical settings, particularly in rural settings in Africa. It also brings to the fore the unreliability of conventional methods for identification of Pseudomonas bacteria in clinical samples and thus supports the use of 16S ribosomal deoxyribonucleic acid in making the diagnosis.

Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath in a 5-year-old child; A case report.

Project description:Introductionand importance: Giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath in children have rarely been reported in the literature. This study aims to present a case of giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath on the big toe of a 5-year-old child.Case presentationA 5-year-old girl presented with a painless swelling over the dorsal aspect of right big toe for 2 weeks. Physical examination revealed non-tender rubbery like swelling over the dorsal aspect of the right big toe. Ultrasound scan of the swelling showed a 17 × 7 mm oval-shaped subcutaneous hypoechoic lesion. Magnetic resonance imaging showed evidence of 20× 8 mm well-defined fusiform soft tissue lesion scalloping the bone. Under general anesthesia, the mass was totally excised. Microscopic sectioning showed a mixture of fibroblasts and histiocyte like cells associated with multinucleated giant cells in the vascular connective tissue stroma with the definite diagnosis of the giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath.DiscussionThese tumors mostly compose of several types of cell like synovial, siderophages, foam, inflammatory and multinucleate giant cells. The major etiological factors that induce development of this tumor could be traumatic, inflammatory, metabolic or neoplastic disease.Conclusionalthough it is a sporadic finding, giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath might affect the lower limb in children. Complete excision is the main modality of treatment.
