ABSTRACT
Nodular lymphoid hyperplasia (NLH) is a pathology of the gastrointestinal tract that is commonly found in children. Most of its etiology is benign and associated with some underlying causes such as food hypersensitivity, viral or bacterial infection, giardiasis, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, immunodeficiency, celiac disease, and inflammatory bowel disease. It is characterized by the growth of submucosal lymphoid tissue and a mucosal response to different types of noxious stimuli. In this report, we present the case of a child with recurrent hematemesis.
ABSTRACT
Biliary ascariasis is a rare disease in a non-endemic area. However, it is one of the possible etiological factors for retarded growth as well as malnutrition in children. It may cause intestinal obstruction, appendicitis, biliary obstruction, liver abscess, hepatolithiasis, and pancreatitis in adults. Herein, we report a patient with ascending cholangitis secondary to biliary ascariasis who was successfully managed with Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreaticography.
