ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Background: Functional constipation and enuresis frequently coexist. Constipation treatment often results in resolution or improvement of the enuresis. However, besides the classical presentation, patients can present with occult constipation (OC) diagnosed in complementary evaluation; in addition, semi-occult constipation (SOC) can be detected by means of a detailed questionnaire. Objective: To quantify OC and SOC frequency in children with monosymptomatic or non monosymptomatic enuresis (MNE or NMNE). Methods: Otherwise healthy children/adolescents, with enuresis refractory to behavioral therapy and denying constipation after simple questions, answered a structured bowel habit questionnaire and were submitted to a plain abdominal radiological exam. Constipation was classified considering the Boston diagnostic criteria (to allow diagnosis at initial stages), and fecal loading in the X-ray quantified ≥10 by the Barr score. Children with constipation received a standardized treatment (except 26 "pilot" children). Results: Out of 81 children, 80 aged 9.34±2.07 years, 52.5% male, were diagnosed with constipation: 30 OC, 50 SOC; 63.75% had MNE, 36.25% NMNE (six NMNE without behavioral therapy). Demographic data and the Barr score were similar for OC and SOC, but SOC children experienced significantly more constipation complications (retentive fecal incontinence and/or recurrent abdominal pain). Not showing the Bristol Stool Scale (BSS) to 24 "pilot" children, or absence of constipation symptoms accompanying BSS predominantly type 3, in 13 children, did not significantly impact the detection of constipation by the Barr score. Children identifying BSS 3 or ≤2 had similar results. Twenty-eight children, with adequate follow-up after treatment, improved or recovered from constipation at 44 of their 52 follow-up visits. Conclusion: In patients with MNE or NMNE refractory to behavioral therapy, and who initially denied constipation after simple questions, a detailed questionnaire based on the Boston diagnostic criteria detected SOC in 61.7%, and the radiological Barr score revealed fecal loading (OC) in 37.0% of them.


RESUMO Contexto: Constipação funcional e enurese frequentemente coexistem. Tratamento da constipação geralmente resulta em cura ou melhora da enurese. Entretanto, além da apresentação clássica, pode ocorrer constipação oculta (CO), diagnosticada por exame subsidiário; ademais, ao aplicar questionário detalhado, pode-se detectar constipação semioculta (CSO). Objetivo: Obter as frequências de CO e CSO em crianças com enurese mono- ou não monossintomática (EMN ou ENMN). Métodos: Crianças/adolescentes saudáveis, exceto por enurese refratária à terapia comportamental, e que negavam constipação após perguntas simples, respondiam a questionário estruturado sobre hábito intestinal, e realizavam radiografia simples de abdômen. A constipação foi classificada considerando os critérios diagnósticos de Boston (que permitem diagnóstico em fases iniciais) e retenção fecal na radiografia quantificada ≥10 pelo escore de Barr. As crianças com constipação receberam tratamento padronizado (exceto 26 crianças "piloto"). Resultados: Das 81 crianças, 80 com idade 9,34±2,07 anos, 52,5% masculinas, foram diagnosticadas com constipação: 30 CO, 50 CSO; 63.75% tinham EMN, 36.25% ENMN (6 ENMN sem terapia comportamental). Os dados demográficos e o escore de Barr foram semelhantes para CO e CSO, mas as crianças com CSO apresentaram significativamente mais complicações de constipação (incontinência fecal retentiva e/ou dor abdominal recorrente). A não apresentação da Escala Fecal de Bristol (EFB) para 24 crianças "piloto", ou ausência de sintomas de constipação acompanhando EFB predominantemente do tipo 3, em 13 crianças, não teve impacto significativo na detecção de constipação pelo escore de Barr. Crianças que identificaram EFB 3 ou ≤2 tiveram resultados semelhantes. Vinte e oito crianças, com acompanhamento adequado após o tratamento, melhoraram ou se recuperaram da constipação em 44 de seus 52 retornos. Conclusão: Em pacientes com EMN ou ENMN refratária à terapia comportamental, e que inicialmente negavam constipação após perguntas simples, questionário baseado nos critérios diagnósticos de Boston detectou CSO em 61.7%, e o escore radiológico de Barr revelou retenção fecal (CO) em 37% deles.

ABSTRACT

CONTEXT: In infants, it is not always easy to distinguish between pathological and physiological gastroesophageal reflux based only on clinical criteria. In Brazil, studies about gastroesophageal reflux disease in infants are few and are even rare those that used prolonged esophageal pH monitoring for its evaluation. OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical features of gastroesophageal reflux disease and to determine its prevalence in infants with gastroesophageal reflux attending a tertiary Pediatric Gastroenterology Service and submitted to esophageal pH monitoring for investigation. METHODS: Descriptive study in 307 infants in whom esophageal pH monitoring (Mark III Digitrapper, Synectics Medical AB, Sweden) was performed during the period December, 1998-December, 2008. The clinical features studied were age group (1-12 months and 13-24 months), and clinical manifestations that motivated the indication of pH monitoring. RESULTS: One hundred twenty-four (40.4 percent) were female and 183 (59.6 percent) male with mean age 12.2 ± 6.2 months (1-23 months). The prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease was 18.2 percent (56/307). One hundred forty-eight (48.2 percent) were 1-12 months old and 159 (51.8 percent), 13-24 months. No significant difference was found between the prevalence of these two age groups (P = 0.3006). Gastroesophageal reflux disease was more frequent in those with digestive manifestations (24.2 percent), crisis of cyanosis/apnea (23.8 percent) and mixed manifestations (21.5 percent). Respiratory manifestations were the most frequent indication (39.1 percent) of pH monitoring. However, the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease was lower (12.5 percent) in this group compared with in those with digestive manifestations (P = 0.0574), crisis of cyanosis/apnea (P = 0.0882) and mixed manifestations (P = 0.1377). All infants that presented clinical manifestations as crisis of cyanosis/apnea and abnormal pH-metry were < ...


CONTEXTO: Em lactentes, nem sempre é fácil diferenciar o refluxo gastroesofágico fisiológico do patológico baseado somente em dados clínicos. No nosso meio, são escassos os estudos sobre doença do refluxo gastroesofágico em lactentes, sendo ainda mais raros os que tenham utilizado a pHmetria esofágica prolongada para a sua avaliação. OBJETIVO: Descrever os aspectos clínicos da doença do refluxo gastroesofágico e determinar a sua prevalência em uma população de lactentes com refluxo gastroesofágico atendida e submetida a pHmetria esofágica num serviço terciário de gastroenterologia pediátrica. Métodos - Estudo descritivo em 307 lactentes submetidos a pHmetria esofágica (Digitrapper MKIII, Synectics Medical AB, Sweden) no período de dezembro de 1998 a dezembro de 2008. Os aspectos clínicos analisados foram: faixa etária (1-12 m e 13-24 m) e manifestações clínicas que motivaram a indicação de pHmetria. RESULTADOS: Cento e vinte e quatro (40,4 por cento) eram meninas e 183 (59,6 por cento) meninos, com idade média de 12,2 ± 6,2 m (1-23 m). A prevalência de doença do refluxo gastroesofágico foi de 18,2 por cento (56/307). Cento e quarenta e oito (48,2 por cento) tinham idades entre 1-12 m e 159 (51,8 por cento), 13-24 m. Não houve diferença significativa entre as prevalências observadas nessas duas faixas etárias (P = 0,3006). Doença do refluxo gastroesofágico foi mais frequentemente detectada nos lactentes com manifestações digestivas (24,2 por cento), crises de cianose/apneia (23,8 por cento) e manifestações mistas (21,5 por cento). Manifestações respiratórias motivaram maior percentagem (39,1 por cento) de indicação de pHmetria. Entretanto, a prevalência de doença do refluxo gastroesofágico nesse grupo (12,5 por cento) resultou menor quando comparada com a de manifestações digestivas (P = 0,0574), crises de cianose/apneia (P = 0,0882) e mistas (P = 0,1377). Todos lactentes que apresentaram manifestações clínicas sob forma de crises de cianose/apneia ...

ABSTRACT

A 7-year-old white boy was referred to us with a history of 3 attacks of hypogastric pain over the previous 2 years and persistently elevated serum amylase concentrations. At physical examination, he was well with no evidence of clinical abnormalities. His weight and height were normal. Laboratory diagnostic investigations were all normal except for the presence of Ascaris lumbricoides in the feces and persistently elevated serum amylase levels. Serum amylase determinations in the family members were normal in his father and maternal grandmother but elevated in his mother, sister, maternal aunt, and uncle, all of whom asymptomatic. Macroamylasemia was excluded in the child and in the mother. The finding of persistently elevated amylasemia in the child and in the other family members spanning 3 generations, and the exclusion of diseases that lead to hyperamilasemia are consistent with the diagnosis of familial hyperamylasemia. Until now, only 1 similar case has been reported. Familial hyperamylasemia must be considered in the differential diagnosis of hyperamylasemias in childhood
