Sandifer syndrome, named after neurologist Paul Sandifer, was first reported by Marcel Kinsbourne in 1962, who noted an upper gastrointestinal disorder that occurs in children and adolescents with neurological manifestations. Sandifer syndrome is a neurobehavioral disorder that causes a series of paroxysmal dystonic movements in association with gastroesophageal reflux and, in some cases, with hiatal hernia. It is characterized by esophagitis, iron deficiency anemia, and is often mistaken for a seizure of epileptic origin.

A prospective study were identified on 110 pregnants women with iron deficiency anemia, who had treated with iron dose depending on the degree of iron deficiency. We studied in pregnant women aged 6-20 weeks, with no history of medical conditions as well as hematological pathologies. Criteria for diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia is Hb

ABSTRACT Objective This prospective study was conducted to establish safety and efficacy of intravenous iron therapy in postnatal anemic patients. Results Around 217 anemic women were included in the study. Most of these patients (82.2%) were of 21 to 30 years of age having parity of 2 to 4 (53.9%). Almost 71% of patients had moderate anemia with Hb of 7 to 9 gm/dl. Around 208 patients (95.86%) required two to four injections of intravenous iron to build up Hb to optimum acceptable level. Only seven patients (3.22%) suffered from minor complications of local rash, while three (1.38%) had more severe allergic reactions but were managed successfully. Conclusion Intravenous iron is a safe and effective alternative in postnatal patients as it ensures iron therapy in low resource and noncompliant patients.
