ABDOMINAL PAIN IN CHILDREN
![Page 6: Abdominal pain](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012922/55c4e06cbb61ebab7e8b4875/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
At the end of this session you will learn
• Anything in abdomen can cause pain• Huge overcrowded abdomen has many c/of AP• Most RAP in children are functional• Alarm signs are clues to severe disease• Abdo. migraine may mimic ac. abdomen• RAP with positive MT is suggestive of Abdo. TB• Infantile colic is self-limiting
• ENT infx. is an important c/of ac. AP in children
AP: abdominal pain. RAP: rec. abdominal pain
![Page 7: Abdominal pain](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012922/55c4e06cbb61ebab7e8b4875/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Introduction
• Almost all children express AP: 5-7% of all ED visits• Most are functional: no anatomic, metabolic,
inflammatory, neoplastic cause. Need no tests• Familial illnesses, environment, parental attitude are
important predisposing factors for AP• Chr. and RAP overlap, ~synonymous
• Never miss medical and/or surgical emergencies
![Page 8: Abdominal pain](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012922/55c4e06cbb61ebab7e8b4875/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Functional AP (FAP): Clues
• Otherwise healthy/thriving• Good appetite, no NVD• Short episodes, environmental triggers• Periumbilical• Normal PE• FH of RAP/migraine• No tests to DD. Alarm SS justify further inv.
PE: physical examination. DD: differential Dx or differentiate. SS: symptoms and signsInv: investigate

Nature of abdominal pain
• Persistent: aching, burning, pressing, pricking, stabbing
• Colicky/spasmodic: muscle spasm. (coming and going)
• Pain may be diffuse, localized, referred• Mostly are non-surgical. Bilious V may suggest
obstruction/malrotation• Referred Pain: pain felt at another site, not site of origin
(subphrenic ab.: shoulder pain). Why? Somatic and visceral afferents enter the cord closely as of embryonological origin
V: vomiting
![Page 10: Abdominal pain](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012922/55c4e06cbb61ebab7e8b4875/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Visceral AP: dull, poorly localized, crampy, burning, biting (mechanical stretching or chemical irritation)
Parietal pain: parietal peritoneum. Sharp, well-localized
Generalized pain (felt “everywhere“ but may yet have a local c/): peritonitis, SCD, DKA, adrenal crisis, ac. intermittent porphyria, AGE, bloating/gas, IBS, IBD, obstruction, mesen. Ischemia/LAP, pregnancy
Abdominal migraine: paroxysmal central AP with features of migraine and ANV or pallor as well as FH of M
SCD: sickle cell disease. DKA: diabetic ketoacidosis. AGE: ac. Gastroenteritis. IBS: irritable bowel
syn, IBD: inflam. Bowel d. LAP: lymphadenopathy

Onset• Ac./Sudden: perforation, mesentaric infarction, ruptured
AA aneurysm, DKA, Addison D, MIAc. progressive: appendicitis, AGE
• Recurrent/chronic
SiteMay not be specific. Changes in site may mark progression• Diaphragmatic/GB pain may feel at shoulder• Appendicitis: McBurney’s point• Cholecystitis: Murphy’s point• Renal pain: loin to groin• Perforated ulcer: severe diffuse (peritonitis)

Aggravating and Relieving factors
• Peritonitis worsened by movement: lie still• Fatty foods worsen biliary colic, pancreatitis• Eating relieves DU; worsens GU, mesen. ischemia
• Defecation relives colitis pain• No change in renal colic, MI, appendicitis, hepatitis,• Menstruation worsens PID, endometriosis
DU: duodenal ulcer. GU: gastric u. MI: myocardial infarction. PID: pelvic inflam. Ds.

Pathophysiology
• Proximal bowel telescopes into distal segment
• Compression of mesenteric BV & lymphatics leads to edema, ischemia, mucosal hge., perforation, and peritonitis

Treatment
Air/contrast reduction– Air is better than Ba: less perforation (<1%)– Not very successful if SS >24–48h or with obstruction– Success: 75-90% with ileocolic type
Surgery• Indications: persistent filling defects, failed nonoperative
reduction, prolonged intussusception• Manual reduction and end-to-end anastomosis
Recurrence:• 10%. Not necessarily an indication for surgery

• The gut starts as a straight tube. Midgut (distal duodenum-midtransverse C) elongates and protrudes in U cord and lies totally outside
• It rotates around SMA. Duodenum re-enters and get fixed to posterior wall, colon is directed to LUQ
• Then cecum rotates counterclock and lies in RLQ. The colon and mesen. root is fixed to posterior wall
• Such attachments provide a broad base of support to the mesentery and the SMA and prevent twisting
• Completed in 1st TM

Use of Laparoscopy
• Diagnosis– non-sp. AP– chr. AP– female patients– undescended testes– Trauma– Tb
• Treatment– appendicitis– Meckel diverticulum– cholecystitis– ovarian
detorsion/excision– lysis of adhesions

Parental factors rather than psychology of child predict the persistence or recurrence of AP
Continuous attention/suggestion/proxy causes more persistence of pain Recovery is usual if parents accept the Dx
Don’t focus on complete cure; rather on return to normal function

ABDOMINAL MIGRAINE in children
• Variant of migraine; HA unusual. Common• In 2% children. Girls more. Age: 2-10y• Cause is not clear. May have neurologic and
endocrine factors and may be c/by alterations in levels of serotonin and histamine
• FH of M (60%)• Triggers: chocolate/nitrite-containing foods, stress,
and anxiety
![Page 88: Abdominal pain](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012922/55c4e06cbb61ebab7e8b4875/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
SS• Adult migraine: HA, sometimes preceded by aura. NV,
photophobia. AM is rare in adults• AM: central AP and can be severe, often periumbilical;
crampy, ~NV. Pallor is common. ~HA. Relieved by sleep and can last 1 h-several days. Often precipitated by usual triggers of classic M
Dx• Difficult to diagnose, especially during the first episode. no
specific test. Dx by exclusion. Lab and imaging to rule out other conditions
• EEG to rule out a seizure disorder
![Page 89: Abdominal pain](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012922/55c4e06cbb61ebab7e8b4875/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Treatment
• Aims: relieve ac. attack and prevent recurrence• No ideal single drug. Drugs for adult M are used:• NSAIDs/acetaminophen• Sumatriptan in older children• Tricyclic AD and drugs that block serotonin, ergotamine
have been used in some• Valproic a.; pizotifen
![Page 90: Abdominal pain](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012922/55c4e06cbb61ebab7e8b4875/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
• Long term low dose aspirin and beta-blocker to reduce frequency
• Cyproheptadine is effective in some• IVF if V is severe along with sedatives or antiemetic• Avoid triggers. Avoid food triggers. Stress
management and relaxation programs benefit some
Prognosis• Good; most children grow out• 70% develop M in adulthood

PREVENTION
• Hand washing; avoid viral contact, smoking• New vaccine under trials• Hyperimmune Ig• MAB: palivizumab
– 55% less admission for preterm/chr. LD and 45% for cong. HD. Given monthly through RSV season
• Influenza vaccine

BRONCHIOLITIS AND B.A.
• RSV is a risk for recurrent wheeze (40%) and reduced FEV1 up to age 11y
• Association of RSV with later BA– may be a predisposition factor

Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO)• Or obliterative/constrictive B usually adenovirus.
Rare but fatal (irreversible): fibrosis +/or inflammation: block
B obliterans organizing pn. (BOOP) or cryptogenic organizing pn. (COP)
• Non-infx.; often in Rh A, or with amiodarone• CF and CXR show pn. But no response to ABT

CDH: Mainly the L side. Asymmetry of a hemidiaphragm or changing diaphragmatic levels. Gas-filled organs or a NGT within the chest confirm DX. confused in diaphragmatic paralysis or after lung reduction
surgery

Pneumoperitoneum: mostly perforation. Erect XR: air crescent under D. Sometimes, a double-wall, or Rigler's, sign can be seen which refers to internal and external air outlining the
intestinal wall

Pneumomediastinum. Most commonly follows injury to esophagus/adjacent alveoli. CXR: free air may outline anatomic structures. Common findings are a thin line of radiolucency that outlines the cardiac outline, vertically oriented streaks of air in the mediastinum, a double bronchial wall sign, or lucency
around the right pulmonary artery, the "ring around the artery" sign. Air is most easily detected retrosternally on lateral CXR. Air is fixed in a pneumomediastinum and does not rise to the highest point

Airway FB, most often in children; the commonest site is R main B due to its being posterior, straighter, and wider. Indirect s/of
ingestion include focal overinflation with partial obstruction or collapse in complete obstruction. See a radiopaque object lodged in the R main
bronchus of a child
