Clin Exp Pediatr. 2016;59(5):226-230.   Published online May 31, 2016
Purpose

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs in pediatric patients when reflux of gastric contents presents with troublesome symptoms. The present study compared the effects of omeprazole and ranitidine for the treatment of symptomatic GERD in infants of 2-12 months.

Methods

This study was a clinical randomized double-blind trial and parallel-group comparison of omeprazole and ranitidine performed at Children Training Hospital in Tabriz, Iran....

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy in children
Jye Hae Park, SeonKyeong Rhie, Su Jin Jeong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2011;54(1):17-21.   Published online January 31, 2011
Purpose

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) can improve nutritional status and reduce the amount of time needed to feed neurologically impaired children. We evaluated the characteristics, complications, and outcomes of neurologically impaired children treated with PEG.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed the records of 32 neurologically impaired children who underwent PEG between March 2002 and August 2008 at our medical center. Forty-two PEG procedures comprising...

Case Report
A case of acute respiratory distress syndrome associated with congenital H-type tracheoesophageal fistula and gastroesophageal reflux
Heewon Chueh, Myo Jing Kim, Jin-A Jung
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2008;51(8):892-895.   Published online August 15, 2008
H-type tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is extremely rare in infants and children, and clinical manifestations of this condition are diverse based on its severity. Some cases of congenital TEF diagnosed in adulthood have been reported, which indicate the difficulty of early diagnosis of this disease. Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) may induce chronic aspiration, pulmonary aspiration, apparent life-threatening events, and failure to thrive....
A case of congenital vallecular cyst associated with gastroesophageal reflux presenting with stridor, feeding cyanosis, and failure to thrive
Mi Ae Yang, Min Jae Kang, Jeana Hong, Seung Han Shin, Sang Duk Kim, Ee-Kyung Kim, Han-Suk Kim, Jung-Hwan Choi, Tack Kyun Kwon, In-One Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2008;51(7):775-779.   Published online July 15, 2008
Vallecular cyst is an uncommon but potentially dangerous condition causing stridor and has been associated with sudden airway obstruction resulting in death due to its anatomical location in neonates. It may also present with various degrees of feeding problems resulting in failure to thrive. When a vallecular cyst is suspected clinically, endoscopic laryngoscopy is necessary to visualize it. Other conditions...

The Etiologic Diseases and Diagnostic Usefulness of Color Doppler Ultrasonography in Children with Chronic Coughs
Sun Young Park, Joon Sung Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(4):489-497.   Published online April 15, 2002
Purpose : The objectives of this study were to investigate the causes of chronic cough and to establish the appropriate diagnostic approach to chronic cough in children. Methods : One hundred and thirty two cases of chronic cough were prospectively evaluated. They visitors to pediatric chronic cough clinics at Kang-nam saint Mary's Hospital of Catholic University from August 2000 to...
Case Report
Two Cases of Congenital Paraesophageal Hiatal Hernia in Infancy
Ji Yeon Hong, Kih Yeon Song, Woo Ki Lee, Kwang Woo Kim, Jong Gon Ha, Soon Ok Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(12):1613-1620.   Published online December 15, 2000
Herniation of the stomach through the esophageal hiatus into the posterior mediastinum is a commom affliction of humans. The incidence of hiatal hernia is difficult to determine because of the absence of symptoms in a large number of patients. Hiatal hernias are classified into two major types; type I sliding hiatal hernia and type II paraesophageal hiatal hernia. Sliding hernia...

Pan Joo Lim, Jae Ock Park, Dong Hwan Lee, Sang Mann Shin, Dong Won Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(9):1234-1242.   Published online September 15, 1998
Purpose : We investigated the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD) by 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring in patients who had chronic cough for more than 3 weeks. Methods : From January 1995 to August 1996, 33 patients with chronic cough which had lasted for more than 3 weeks were enrolled in the 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring. The result was interpreted with the...
Influence of Feeding and State of Alertness on the Incidence of Gastroesophageal Reflux in Children
Kyung Mo Kim, Jung Yeon Shim, Soo Jong Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(10):1419-1426.   Published online October 15, 1997
Purpose : The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of the feeding (fastingpostprandial) and the state of alertness(awake-asleep) on the amount of gastroesophageal reflux by using 24hour esophageal pH metry. Methods : From July 1994 to June 1995, 32 cases of 24 hour esophageal pH metry had been done at the Asan Medical Center. Twenty three children with normal pH monitoring and...

A Case of Chronic Recurrent Obstructive Bronchitis Associated with Gastro-Esophageal Reflux
Myung Hee Min, Sang Soo Roh, Sang Il Lee, Sang Woo Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1992;35(4):556-562.   Published online April 15, 1992
It has been well established that the gastroesophageal reflux and chronic respiratory problem were closely related. Several reports in pediatric literature have implicated the aspiration of gasrtric contents as a trigger factor of cough, wheezing, and recurrent pulmonary disease. Several possible mechanisms have been proposed whereby acidic gastric content can trigger bronchospasm and, in turn, bronchospams can trigger gastroesopohageal reflux. Several tests,...

Gastroesophageal Reflux in Ingants and Clinical Experience with 24-Hour Esophageal pH Monitoring.
Kum Ja Choi, Keun Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1988;31(4):427-435.   Published online April 30, 1988
Gastroesophageal reflux defined as a dysfunction of the distal esophagus is a major cause of recurrent vomiting and failure to thrive in newborns and young infants. In infants, the differentiation between pathologic, pernicous vomiting and normal “burping” with regurgitation has been difficult until the far advanced complications of weight loss, failure to thrive, anemia from ulcerating esophagitis, or stricutre have been obvious. A number of...

A Case of Congenital Hypertrophic Pylocric Stenosis Associated with Gastroesophageal Reflux.
Eui Soo Park, Dong Won Lee, Woo Gill Lee, Poong Man Jung
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1982;25(2):190-194.   Published online February 28, 1982
Congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is characterized by projectile vomiting and pyloric thickening, and must be differentiated with gastroesophageal reflux. Gastroesophageal reflux may defined as relaxation of lower esophageal sphincter causing return of stomach content into eophagus, and frequently associated with hiatal hernia. The authors presented a case, having congenital hypertrophic pyloric stencsis and gastroesophageal reflux simultaneously which must be differentiated...
