Abstract

Background: Accidental corrosive ingestion is a formidable pediatric emergency that can lead to severe gastrointestinal injury and long-term sequelae. Sulfuric acid, a common agent, induces coagulative necrosis, primarily affecting the stomach. The optimal management for moderate-grade injuries (Zargar Grade 2A) is debated, with a focus on preventing stricture formation. This report details a case managed with an aggressive pharmacotherapeutic protocol centered on high-dose sucralfate. Case presentation: A 2-year-10-month-old boy was admitted following accidental ingestion of battery acid. His presentation was atypical, with vomiting but no oropharyngeal lesions. Initial investigations revealed a significant systemic inflammatory response (leukocytosis: 19,220/mm³; thrombocytosis: 581,000/mm³) and aspiration pneumonitis. Despite a 12-day delay in endoscopy due to parental refusal, an aggressive conservative regimen was initiated upon admission. This protocol included high-dose, frequent-interval sucralfate (80 mg/kg every 2 hours), intensive intravenous acid suppression (omeprazole and ranitidine), and prophylactic antibiotics. The endoscopy on day 12 confirmed Zargar Grade 2A burns in the gastric fundus, pylorus, and proximal duodenum, with the esophagus spared. The patient improved rapidly, tolerated an oral diet by day 11, and was discharged on day 14. Conclusion: Follow-up endoscopy at 6 weeks and 6 months confirmed complete mucosal healing without any evidence of stricture or gastric outlet obstruction. This case suggests that an immediate, aggressive, non-surgical protocol featuring high-dose sucralfate can be effective in managing pediatric Grade 2A corrosive gastroduodenal burns, promoting complete healing and preventing long-term complications. The findings underscore the potential of this pharmacotherapeutic strategy and warrant further investigation.

Abstract

Background: Choledochal cysts (CC) are congenital dilatations of the biliary tree, characterized by varying degrees of cystic dilatation at various segments of the biliary tract (extrahepatic or intrahepatic), may be detected at any age and in any portion of the bile duct. This study was aimed to present the management of multiple choledochal cyst case. Case presentation: A 9 year old boy was brought by his mother to the emergency department at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang with chief complaint abdominal pain that’s getting worse 2 weeks before admission. Abdominal pain first complained by the patient since age of 4, the pain was felt all over stomach area, not localized, not radiated, not corelated with meal time, colicky, relieved with paracetamol. USG results: Choledochal cyst, Helicobacter pylori infection, elevated liver enzymes due to suspect suppression of choledochal cyst. Abdominal CT-Scan with contrast results: Intrahepatic and extrahepatic choledochal cyst (type IV A). Conclusion: Patients was diagnosed with multiple choledochal cysts, diffuse peritonitis, Helicobacter pylori infection, and familial short stature.

Abstract

Background: Several conditions in children can cause nutritional intake via the oral route to be inadequate. Providing enteral nutrition via a nasogastric tube (NGT) is an alternative option. Research on the use of NGTs in Indonesia is still limited, so this research aims to determine the effect of NGT use on the weight of pediatric patients with feeding difficulties at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang. Methods: Experimental research with a pre and post-test-only design was conducted on 96 children aged 1 month - 18 years in the children's inpatient room at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang. Body weight measurements were carried out before and after using NGT for 4 weeks (January 2022 – January 2023) at the pediatric nutrition and metabolic diseases polyclinic. Data were analyzed using paired t-test and ANOVA. Results: Most subjects (40.9%) were in the 1-12 month age group. The most common type of nutrition was ONS (oral nutritional supplements) (84.4%), the most common diagnosis was pulmonology (33.3%), and the majority were without complications (72.9%). There is an influence on the child's weight before and after using NGT (p-value <0.01). Significant differences were also found in changes in children's weight with diagnosis and complications (p<0.01). Conclusion: The use of NGT can increase the weight of pediatric patients who have feeding difficulties at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang. Significant differences were found in changes in children's weight by diagnosis and complications.

Abstract

Background: In adults, portal hypertension is generally caused by hepatic cirrhosis, whereas in children it is more commonly caused by extrahepatic abnormalities with normal liver function. Portal hypertension causes hemodynamic abnormalities. Gastrointestinal bleeding is the most severe clinical manifestation of portal hypertension in both children and adults. Pathogenetically, increased pressure in the portal vein can be caused by increased vascular resistance and increased portal blood flow. The site of obstruction can be prehepatic (portal vein obstruction), intrahepatic (presinusoidal: eg congenital hepatic fibrosis; para sinusoidal: cirrhosis, hepatotoxic drug therapy, vitamin A hepatotoxicity; post sinusoidal: venocclusive disease) and/or post hepatic (Budd-Chiari syndrome, constrictive pericarditis). Case presentation: The study reports the results of observations of a case of a boy, FAA, aged 12 years and 2 months who came to the emergency room at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang with the main complaint of hematemesis and splenomegaly from physical examination. Non cirrhotic portal fibrosis is a cause that is not uncommon in the population in the early second decade of life. Some children with non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis as adults can end up with end stage liver disease. Conclusion: Patients with noncirrhotic or cirrhotic portal hypertension can be assessed using the Child Pugh instrument as an instrument that is still used to determine the survival rate if patients with portal hypertension.

Abstract

Background: The coexistence of hiatal hernia (HH), gastric polyp, and lupus nephritis in an adolescent patient presents a unique clinical challenge, demanding a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and management. This case report aims to highlight the complexities involved in addressing these concurrent conditions and their implications for patient care. Case presentation: A 16-year-old girl with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus nephritis presented with recurrent abdominal pain. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed a hiatal hernia and an esophageal polyp. The patient underwent laparoscopic gastrofundoplication for the hiatal hernia, and the polyp was subsequently removed via polypectomy. Histopathological examination confirmed a hyperplastic gastric polyp. The patient's postoperative course was complicated by electrolyte imbalances and dysphagia, which were managed successfully. Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of a thorough diagnostic workup in adolescents with SLE presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms. The concurrent presence of HH, gastric polyp, and lupus nephritis necessitates a multidisciplinary approach involving gastroenterologists, surgeons, rheumatologists, and other specialists. Careful attention to potential complications, such as electrolyte imbalances and dysphagia, is crucial for optimal patient outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) is a common cause of gastric outlet obstruction in infants, but its management can be challenging in the presence of comorbidities like malnutrition and pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). This case report highlights the complexities and considerations in managing an infant with HPS, PTB, and severe malnutrition. Case presentation: A 6-month-old male infant presented with lethargy, recurrent vomiting, and failure to thrive. He had a history of PTB on anti-tuberculosis treatment and was severely malnourished. Investigations revealed HPS, and he underwent a pyloromyotomy. Postoperatively, he required careful fluid management, nutritional support, and continued anti-tuberculosis therapy. Conclusion: This case highlights the challenges in managing HPS in an infant with PTB and severe malnutrition. It underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach involving pediatricians, surgeons, and nutritionists to ensure optimal outcomes in such complex cases.
