The diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease rests on radiologic, endoscopic, and histologic creteria. Five patients, 2 to 17 years of age, sought medical attention because of chronic abdominal pain, diarrhea, and heme-positive stools. Rectal biopsies, visual inspection of colonic mucosa through the colonoscope, and contrast radiographs of the large and small intestine yielded nonspecific results. Serial endoscopic biopsies demonstrated a gradient of inflammatory changes diminishing in severity distally from the ileocecal valve and cecum. The disease process was most evident in specimens from the cecum, whereas biopsies distal to the transverse colon had a normal histologic appearance in all five patients. Biopsies from the proximal colon may provide evidence of inflammatory bowel disease not detectable using standard techniques. The combination of chronic abdominal pain, diarrhea, and heme-positive stools associated with inflammatory changes in biopsy specimens obtained from the proximal colon, but normal findings on radiologic, colonoscopic, and rectal biopsy examinations, may represent an early stage in the evolution of chronic nonspecific inflammatory bowel disease, including ulcerative colitis or regional enteritis (Crohn disease).

Background/Objectives. This systematic review was conducted to investigate the association between pancreatitis and IBD. Methods. MEDLINE, Embase, and CENTRAL were systematically searched for correlative studies till 2 November 2019. RevMan5.3 was used to estimate relevance. Results. Three studies with 166008 participants were included. The risk of pancreatitis significantly increased in the patients with CD (OR, 3.40; 95% CI, 2.70-4.28; P<0.00001) and UC (OR, 2.49; 95% CI, 1.91-3.26; P<0.00001). Increased risks of CD (OR, 12.90; 95% CI, 5.15-32.50; P<0.00001) and UC (OR, 2.80; 95% CI, 1.00-7.86; P=0.05) were found in patients with chronic pancreatitis. As for patients with acute pancreatitis, there were significant association of CD (OR, 3.70; 95% CI, 1.90-7.60; P=0.0002), but were not UC. Conclusions. The evidence confirmed an association between pancreatitis and IBD. When pancreatitis patients have chronic diarrhea and mucus blood stool or IBD patients have repeated abdominal pain and weight loss, they should consult pancreatic and gastrointestinal specialists.

Chronic abdominal pain (CAP) is a common and challenging problem in pediatric primary and specialty care. We developed a diagnostic algorithm to organize workup for gastrointestinal causes of CAP and improve identification of patients who are low suspicion (LS) or high suspicion (HS) to have significant intestinal pathology identified with endoscopy. We retrospectively used this algorithm to categorize 150 outpatients with CAP as LS (n = 99) or HS (n = 51) and examined subsequent endoscopic findings for all patients. There were 6% significant diagnoses in the LS group compared with 34% in the HS group ( P < .0001). The LS group had no patients with celiac or inflammatory bowel disease. These results can be used to help a clinician approach CAP, and discuss with families the likelihood of endoscopy finding a cause for CAP based on LS or HS designation.
