RESUMO
Intestinal malrotation is a congenital anomaly caused by incomplete rotation or absence of rotation of the primitive intestine along the axis of the upper mesenteric artery during embryonic development. Embryonic development and its anatomical variations were described by Dott in 1923. Intestinal malrotation is a rare condition among adults - prevalent in a mere 0.0001% to 0.19% of the population -, and it may be associated with other anatomical deformities. It can be asymptomatic or manifest with varying intensity, from obstruction to necrosis of intestinal segments. In general, this abnormality is diagnosed in the first year of life; however, symptomsmay appear later in life,making diagnosis in adults difficult on account of non-specific symptoms. In the present study, we report a case of intestinal malrotation associated with chronic non-specific symptoms progressing to mesenteric angina. (AU)

INTRODUCTION: Dyspepsia comprises a group of symptoms that can have organic or functional origin. The purpose of this study was to describe the main causes of dyspepsia and its clinical evolution in children cared for in a tertiary care hospital. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective study in children with dyspepsia. Patients underwent endoscopy with biopsy and rapid urease test to detect the presence of Helicobacter pylori. In case of normal endoscopy and biopsy, hydrogen breath test was performed. In all cases, follow-up was provided in order to evaluate symptom improvement. RESULTS: One hundred children were included, out of whom 52 were girls; mean age was 8.59 years. Esophagitis or erosive gastropathy were found in 54% of the cases (n = 54), H. pylori infection in 12% (n = 12), small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in 12% (n = 12), and functional dyspepsia in 20% (n = 20). CONCLUSION: In children with dyspepsia, organic causes should first be ruled out before dyspepsia being characterized as functional. In general terms, we consider that a stepped approach that includes endoscopy with biopsy, search for H. pylori and hydrogen breath test is necessary.
INTRODUCCIÓN: La dispepsia consiste en un conjunto de síntomas que pueden tener origen orgánico o funcional. El objetivo de este estudio fue describir las principales causas de la dispepsia y su evolución clínica en niños en un hospital de tercer nivel. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Estudio retrospectivo en niños con dispepsia. Los pacientes fueron sometidos a endoscopia con toma de biopsia y prueba de urea rápida para Helicobacter pylori. En caso de endoscopia y biopsia normal, se tomó prueba de hidrogeniones en aliento. En todos los casos se dio seguimiento para evaluar la mejoría de síntomas. RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 100 niños, de los cuales 52 eran niñas; la edad media fue de 8.59 años. Se encontró esofagitis y gastropatía erosiva en el 54% de los casos (n = 54), infección por H. pylori en el 12% (n = 12), sobrecrecimiento bacteriano del intestino delgado en el 12% (n = 12) y dispepsia funcional en el 20% (n = 20). CONCLUSIÓN: En niños con dispepsia se deben de descartar primero causas orgánicas antes de diagnosticar dispepsia funcional. En términos generales consideramos que es necesario un abordaje escalonado que incluya endoscopia con toma de biopsia, búsqueda de H. pylori y una prueba de hidrogeniones.

Introducción: los trastornos funcionales gastrointestinales son motivo de consulta frecuente en Gastroenterología, y presentan un serio problema social y en la dinámica familiar. El síndrome de intestino irritable en la población pediátrica es poco diagnosticado, y el dolor abdominal crónico es motivo de consulta frecuente en la infancia y adolescencia. Objetivo: analizar los aspectos más actuales en su diagnóstico y tratamiento, y su relación con el dolor abdominal crónico. Métodos: se revisaron las bases documentales de PubMed, Scielo y Latindex y el Registro Especializado del Grupo Cochrane de datos relacionados con el síndrome de intestino irritable hasta diciembre de 2017, así como las guías de tratamiento postuladas por distintas organizaciones médicas, basadas en los criterios de Roma y de la Medicina Basada en la Evidencia. Desarrollo: se realizó una revisión del tema referido a la infancia, y se incluyeron concepto y patogénesis más aceptadas, así como los criterios de Roma establecidos para el diagnóstico. Se hizo énfasis en la etiología, diagnóstico clínico y pruebas diagnósticas. Se analizaron algunos aspectos del tratamiento. Conclusiones: el síndrome de intestino irritable es relativamente frecuente como causa de dolor abdominal crónico funcional, y el interrogatorio dirigido según los criterios de Roma es útil para su diagnóstico. La mayoría de los pacientes con síndrome de intestino irritable en la infancia deben ser atendidos en la atención primaria(AU)
Introduction: gastrointestinal functional disorders are a frequent reason for consultation in Gastroenterology services, and represent a serious social problem and in family dynamics. Irritable bowel syndrome in the pediatric population is poorly diagnosed, and chronic abdominal pain is a frequent reason for consultation in childhood and adolescence. Objective: to analyze the ultimate aspects in its diagnosis and treatment, and its relation with chronic abdominal pain. Methods: PubMed, Scielo and Latindex documentary databases and the Cochrane Specialized Register of data related to irritable bowel syndrome until December 2017 were revised, as well as the treatment guidelines presented by different medical organizations based on the criteria of Rome and of Evidence-Based Medicine. Development: a review of the subject referring to childhood was carried out, and the most accepted concept and pathogenesis were included, as well as Rome criteria established for the diagnosis. Etiology, clinical diagnosis and diagnostic tests were emphasized. Some aspects of the treatment were analyzed. Conclusions: Irritable bowel syndrome is relatively common as a cause of chronic functional abdominal pain, and questioning conducted according to Rome criteria is useful for diagnosis. The majority of patients with irritable bowel syndrome in childhood should be treated in the primary care level(AU)

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that children with celiac disease (CD) on gluten-free diet are at increased risk of abdominal pain (AP) associated-functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs). STUDY DESIGN: This was a multinational cross-sectional study performed from 2014 to 2015. Patients 4-18 years of age with CD on gluten-free diet for longer than 6 months were recruited from pediatric CD clinics in US and Italy. Control groups included siblings of children with CD (with normal tissue transglutaminase levels) and unrelated controls. Subjects or parents completed the Questionnaire on Pediatric Gastrointestinal Symptoms-Rome III. RESULTS: Children (n = 289) were recruited (55% US, 45% Italy): 96 children with CD, 96 sibling controls, and 97 unrelated controls. Chronic AP was present in 30 (30.9%) subjects with CD, 22 (22.7%) sibling controls, and 21 (21.6%) unrelated controls (P = .26 patients with CD vs siblings; P = .18 patients with CD vs unrelated; P = .96 siblings vs unrelated). AP-FGIDs were present in 8 (8.2%) subjects with CD, 8 (8.2%) sibling controls, and 2 (2.1%) unrelated controls (P = 1.00 subjects with CD vs sibling controls; P = .06 subjects with CD vs unrelated controls; P = .06 sibling controls vs unrelated controls). CONCLUSION: This multinational study evaluated the prevalence of chronic abdominal pain and AP-FGIDs in the pediatric population with CD. We found that subjects with CD and controls have a similar prevalence of chronic AP and AP-FGIDs. This suggests that not all types of gastrointestinal inflammation result in AP-FGIDs in children.

El dolor abdominal crónico es un motivo frecuente de consulta externa y de urgencias. Los médicos tradicionalmente consideran que el origen del mismo son las estructuras intraabdominales, incluido el tracto gastrointestinal. Rara vez tienen en cuenta la pared abdominal como la causa de la molestia y someten a los pacientes a numerosos e interminables procedimientos diagnósticos, como laparoscopias y cirugías, entre otros. Por lo menos el 50% de estos pacientes tiene dolor de la pared abdominal por lesión del nervio cutáneo anterior y el diagnóstico se hace identificando el signo de Carnett. Se presenta un caso típico con esta patología, cuyo enfoque inicial ilustra los errores y altos costos en el abordaje de esta patología
Chronic abdominal pain is a frequent cause of outpatient and emergency visits. Doctors traditionally consider that its origin is in intra-abdominal structures, including the gastrointestinal tract. They rarely take into account the abdominal wall as a cause of discomfort and subject patients to numerous and endless diagnostic procedures, including laparoscopy and surgery. At least 50% of these patients have abdominal wall pain due to injuries to the anterior cutaneous vein the diagnosis of which is made by identifying Carnetts sign. A typical case of this pathology is here. The initial approach illustrates the errors and high costs that can be involved in the approach to this pathology

OBJECTIVES: To hypothesize that hernia repair would not change the incidence of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) due to the benign and limited nature of the procedure. STUDY DESIGN: This cohort study assessed a randomized selection of children aged 4-18 years who underwent hernia repair more than 4 years prior at Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. Controls were siblings who had not undergone surgery previously. Parents completed the Questionnaire on Pediatric Gastrointestinal Symptoms-Rome III Version by telephone for subjects and controls. The primary outcome was the presence of FGIDs. RESULTS: Fifty children with hernia repair and 43 sibling controls were identified. At the time of survey, subjects with hernia repair were average age 12.9 years (range 5-18 years, 60% male) and controls were average age 12.2 years (range 4-18 years, 49% male). Average age at surgical repair was 5.2 years (median 5.2 years, range 0.2-10.4 years) and average time since surgical repair was 7.8 years (range 4.8-13.7 years). FGIDs were diagnosed in 10/50 (20%) cases of hernia repair and 2/43 (5%) controls (P = .033, Fisher 2-tailed test). CONCLUSIONS: Umbilical hernia repair increases the likelihood of FGIDs in childhood. Additional studies are needed to identify aspects of surgery that may be associated with development of FGIDs.

Chronic pancreatitis occurs by the prolonged inflammation of pancreatic tissue that induces the irreversible destruction of the organ, leading to a global pancreatic insufficiency. The most common manifestations are abdominal pain, diarrhea, malabsorption, and possibly diabetes mellitus. Chronic pancreatitis treatment includes dietary restrictions, enzymatic supplementation, vitamins, and endoscopic or surgical methods depending on the degree of ductal involvement. In addition to the known therapies, new therapies are under development and research.

Nas últimas décadas, o uso da laparoscopia na ginecologia apresentou aumento expressivo. Ainda é considerada por grande parte dos ginecologistas como a primeira etapa na abordagem das mulheres com dor pélvica crônica. Esta revisão de literatura analisou as indicações da laparoscopia em pacientes com dor pélvica crônica, considerando separadamente os diagnósticos etiológicos mais comuns. Foram utilizadas as bases de dados do Medline-PubMed, Lilacs e Cochrane Library. Esta revisão mostrou que é preciso cautela na indicação do procedimento endoscópico, dado que, em alguns casos, como na endometriose profunda, as complicações são graves e os resultados muitas vezes insatisfatórios, o que justifica maior incentivo ao uso de tratamentos clínicos na abordagem inicial. A laparoscopia deve ser, portanto, empregada como elemento terapêutico em casos criteriosamente selecionados
In the recent decades, the use of laparoscopy in gynecology has had a significant growth. It is still considered by many gynecologists as the first step in the evaluation of women with chronic pelvic pain. This literature review analyzed the indications of laparoscopy in patients with chronic pelvic pain, considering separately the most common etiologies. The databases of Medline, PubMed, Lilacs and Cochrane Library were used. This review showed the need of caution in the indication of endoscopic procedure, because in some cases, as in deep endometriosis, complications are serious and results are often unsatisfactory, which justifies a great incentive to the use of treatment in the initial approach. Laparoscopy should therefore be used as a therapeutic option in carefully selected cases
