Abstract

Background: Foreign body ingestion often occurs in the pediatric population and can cause no symptoms or even cause complications due to swallowing the foreign body. The aim of this case report is to increase clinician knowledge of cases of foreign body ingestion which can cause complications. Case: We report a case of foreign body ingestion water beads with complications of intestinal obstruction in a 1 year 2-month-old girl. The patient came with complaints of vomiting more than ten times containing fluid accompanied by decreased intake. The patient was suspected of swallowing water beads. The patient came to the emergency room with no signs of acute abdomen and the results of plain abdominal radiograph showed no foreign objects. The patient began to show symptoms of obstruction, not being able to defecate and not being able to pass gas. Physical examination revealed abdominal distention accompanied by inaudible bowel sounds. Abdominal CT scan results showed ileal obstruction. An exploratory laparotomy was performed, and two water beads were found intraoperative, which were the cause of the obstruction. The foreign body was removed. After surgery, the patient experienced gradual clinical improvement until he was discharged ten days after the procedure. Discussion: Foreign body ingestion in children is often not witnessed by anyone and may not cause symptoms until complications such as obstruction or peritonitis occur. Some foreign objects are radiolucent in plain radiographs. In emergency cases of foreign body ingestion, it is necessary to carry out emergency endoscopic procedures, even emergency surgical procedures in cases that cause complications. Conclusion: This case report increases clinician knowledge and awareness regarding the clinical approach in evaluating patients with suspected foreign body ingestion in children.

Abstract

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding from birth to six months of age has an unparalleled benefit on a child's growth and development. This survey aimed to assess the practice of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) in Libreville and Lambaréné. Method: This is a prospective study, including mother-child pairs of infants taken to vaccination centers in Libreville (urban area) and Lambaréné (semi-rural area). The data collected included sociodemographic aspects of families, the children's characteristics, and the duration of EBF in months. Result: We included 552 mother-child pairs, 58% of whom were recruited (n = 320) in Libreville. The average age of mothers was 26.5 ± 6.4 years, while fathers were 33.3 ± 7.8 years. The mean age of children was 4.2 ± 3.1 months. Male participants were accounted for 52.2% (n = 288), while females 47.8% (n = 264). The mean duration of exclusive breastfeeding in the whole was 0.9 months. Six-month EBF was generally performed at 9.2% (n = 51,  95% CI = 7.1%-11.9%). The factors influencing the EBF were father’s level of education (all classes combined) (p = 0.025), marital status (p = 0.011), and residential area (OR = 3.40, p <0.001) Conclusion: The duration of exclusive breastfeeding in the two studied is lower than the WHO recommendations. The associated factors found are areas of work to be explored to encourage this important practice for our infants.

Abstract

Background: Neonatal gastrointestinal emergencies refer to a set of life-threatening conditions affecting the digestive system of a newborn within the first 28 days of life and often associated with high morbidity and mortality. As such, these conditions require immediate and accurate diagnosis as well as proper treatment to optimize the outcomes of these patients. This condition has the potential to obstruct the flow of gastric content leading to vomiting, failure to thrive, and electrolyte imbalances. Discussion: Gastrointestinal obstruction is one of the most common conditions causing emergency condition in neonates. This condition may occur anywhere between the upper part of gastrointestinal tract to the lower gastrointestinal tract. In most cases of neonatal gastrointestinal emergencies, patients almost always present with vomiting that may be bilious or non-bilious. Furthermore, persistent vomiting may also lead to a more severe consequences such as hypovolemic shock and electrolyte imbalances. Therefore, clinicians are expected to address this problem early while also working to find the underlying etiologies of neonatal vomiting. On the other hand, gastrointestinal bleeding is often an alarming sign that indicates a possible emergency condition in neonates. However, some non-emergency condition such as swallowed maternal blood and cow's milk allergy can also result in gastrointestinal bleeding in neonates. Conclusion: Given the critical time window and the vulnerability of the neonate population, the proper identification and prompt treatment of neonatal gastrointestinal emergencies is crucial to minimize morbidity and mortality. Multidisciplinary management with neonatologists, pediatric surgeons, radiologists, and nursing staff working closely together can provide the best possible outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Esophageal stricture is an abnormal narrowing of the esophageal lumen, resulting in dysphagia. Despite its rarity, this condition could be caused by various etiologies, including Steven-Johnson Syndrome (SJS). In some cases, stricture could recur, which complicates the management. This case report presented a rare case of refractory esophageal stricture in children with Steven-Johnson Syndrome. Case: A 5-years-old boy with a prior history of SJS presented with dysphagia for one month. The patient experienced choking, blood vomiting, stomatitis, swelling on the lips, and difficulty in swallowing solid food. Barium meal and EGD test confirmed the diagnosis of esophageal strictures. The patient then underwent dilation using bougie dilator. However, he continued to experience dysphagia, resulting in a total of 15 serial dilation sessions. Discussion: Esophageal dysphagia is observed in patients who experience difficulty swallowing solid food. SJS can contribute to the development of esophageal dysphagia by causing inflammation of the esophageal mucosa, resulting in lesions and strictures. In patients with esophageal strictures, two types of dilation methods are available: bougie dilator with wire guidance (Savary-Gilliard) and balloon dilator, with the current consensus for dilation procedures supporting the rule of three. For patients with refractory strictures, other modalities such as mitomycin-C injection and stent placement are also available. Esophageal replacement surgery is considered as the last resort for refractory stricture patients who have not responded to previous treatments. Conclusion: Steven-Johnson Syndrome is a rare cause of esophageal strictures. The management of refractory esophageal stricture requires a comprehensive subspecialty care and long-term monitoring.

Abstract

Background: The increasing prevalence of malnutrition and growth impairment among children with CKD could impact the prognosis and the preferred intervention. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the nutritional status of children with CKD and its relating factors. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary, national-referral teaching hospital in Jakarta. Sociodemographic and laboratory data were obtained from medical records. Body weight and height of participants were measured using digital scale and stadiometer, respectively. Growth and nutritional status indicators such as BMI-for-age, weight-for-height, height for age, and weight for age were quantified and plotted using WHO Anthro and Anthroplus application. Result: A total of 18 participants aged 3-17 years old with CKD stage 3 – 5 were included in this study. BMI measurements showed a z-score average of -1.02, while the mean z-score for height-for-age was of -2.71. Our study demonstrated a significant association between the height-for-age and mineral bone in children with CKD (p = 0.005). However, we found no association between mineral bone disorder with other indicators of nutritional status. Furthermore, our study also found no significant relation between nutritional status and other influencing factors including the stage of CKD, duration of CKD, age, gender, primary etiological factor, hypertension, anemia, age, familial economic status, disease duration, and parental education level demonstrates no significant correlation (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Children with stage 3 – 5 CKD in the pre-dialysis phase are shown to be underweight and short statured but with normal nutritional status. Mineral bone disorder was revealed to be significantly associated with height-for-age in children with CKD.
