Peptic ulceration in children is a rare condition. Primary ulcers, representing 70% of ulcers in children greater than 6 years are predominantly duodenal in location. A positive family history for peptic ulcers is common. Immunosuppressive therapy, severe infections and intracranial lesions are important etiologic factors associated with secondary ulcers. The mortality is approximately 80%. The clinical characteristics of both groups are described. Treatment of children's ulcers and associated complications are described with emphasis on reserving surgical treatment for ulcers not responding to medical therapy and complicated ulcers. We recommend increased attention to this notoriously difficult diagnosis and increasing use of upper gastrointestinal fiberoptic endoscopy.
