Peptic perforation in Children: a diagnostic dilemma
Journal Title: The Journal of Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Pediatrics duodenal ulcer disease is an uncommon clinical entity. There is diagnostic dilemma even in cases with complications like perforation, pneumoperitoneum and hemorrhage. Diagnostic dilemma is due to low index of suspicion due to low incidence. We report a perforated duodenal ulcer in a young child who presented with nausea, anorexia, abdominal pain and pneumoperitoneum. There was no history of predisposing risk factors like non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), corticosteroids and physiological stress.
