Abdominal pain is often occur in practice of the pediatrician and gastroenterologist. Recurrent, intense, intractable abdominal pain for several years should be a symptom of anxiety. In this article, we present a case of long-term recurrent abdominal pain in a girl, accompanied by neurological symptoms, as a symptom of a rare disease - acute intermittent porphyria. Acute intermittent porphyria - inherited by dominant type disease characterized by lesions of the peripheral and central nervous system, the most frequent symptom of which is pain in the abdomen. Abdominal pain with this disease are recurrent paroxysmal and may be localized in different parts of the stomach, leading to the setting false diagnoses, multiple hospitalizations and unjustified surgical procedures.

Predominant Factor

An unusual instance of chronic fibrosing pancreatitis in a young girl is presented. This represents the sixth case reported in the literature. This diagnosis should be suspected in cases of long-term, unexplained, recurring, disabling, abdominal pain. Complete evaluation of the etiologic factors and anatomy before laparotomy is essential. A thorough examination of the pancreatobiliary tree during surgery and a careful biopsy will prove the diagnosis. The etiology of this fibrosing process cannot be explained for obstruction does not appear to be a predominant factor.

AbstractThe study presented a rare case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) in a 57-year old male patient who presented with recurrent abdominal pain. He was diagnosed to have a tumor of the small intestine within ileal intussusception, demonstrated by CT enterography. The patient underwent surgery to remove the tumor with a margin of healthy tissue. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examination results enabled to diagnose IMT. IMT is a rare tumor that occurs mainly in children and young adults. Its etiology remains to be fully understood. Due to the differentiated histology it can be found in many organs and soft tissues, being responsible for different, non-specific clinical and radiological symptoms. Due to the rarity of this tumor a clear treatment protocol has not yet been established. However, given the tendency to recur with possible distant metastases an important element of treatment consists in long-term clinical patient observation.

Background: Chronic abdominal pain is a common condition encountered by many surgeons in their clinic every day. Despite of availability of different tests in maximum cases the reason behind the pain remains unknown. Diagnostic Laparoscopy is a safe technique that can identify the cause of the pain without using any invasive method. In the present study, the use of diagnostic laparoscopy in the diagnosis and management of chronic and recurrent abdominal pain of unknown origin was investigated. Material and Methods: All the patients who visited the outpatient department with chronic abdominal pain were included in this study. All the demographic parameters were included and after careful investigation diagnostic laparoscopy were conducted in all these patients. The postoperative outcomes were also recorded in all the patients. Result: Total of 51 patients was included in this study. Among these patients 23 patients were male and 28 patients were female. Maximum of the patients were in the 31-40 years of age group. The most common pathology for chronic abdominal pain was chronic appendicitis (n=9, 18%) followed by Koch's abdomen and adhesions (n=8, 16%). There were 4 cases of Carcinoma of the gall bladder and 3 cases of metastatic disease with dissemination in the peritoneal cavity and ascitis. 3 cases of liver cirrhosis and 3 cases of endometriosis were also detected. 2 cases of ovarian cysts which were missed by USG were detected correctly by laparoscopy. There were two unusual cases, one of chronic ectopic pregnancy and another of Crohn's disease. All the above findings were confirmed by direct visualizing (86%), or by biopsy (74%) or by fluid analysis. There were no long term complications in our study. Conclusion: The present study concluded that laparoscopy is a safe and effective method for diagnosis of chronic abdominal pain.

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) as a rare inflammatory gastrointestinal (GI) disorder is primarily characterized by long-term or recurrent abdominal pain. Peripheral eosinophilia is usually caused by eosinophilic infiltrations into the multiple layers of the GI tract. In this report, a case of EGE with an acute abdomen is presented. A 14-year-old female experienced severe abdominal pain and hypereosinophilia. She underwent appendectomy due to severe abdominal pain approximately one week before readmission. Because of the persistence of pain, the upper GI endoscopy and biopsy were performed and the result of the pathological examination was eosinophilic gastroenteritis. Due to the nonspecificity of EGE symptoms, it is recommended that clinicians study pathology in atypical and nonresponsive GI diseases; biopsy should be performed as well.
