Peutz-Jeghars Syndrome (PJS), also known as peri-orificial lentiginosis, is a condition of autosomal dominant inheritance. Here, mutation localized at (19p13.3) LKB1/ STK11. It is characterized by presence of mucocutaneous pigmentation and gastrointestinal (GI) hamartomatous polyps. This case of PJS, is a 7 year old girl who came with recurrent vomiting and abdominal pain for 1 year and weight loss for 8 months. She had multiple black pigmentation over lips and buccal mucosa. Endoscopy revealed multiple polyps in stomach and duodenum. Besides supportive management, polyps were removed by surgical intervention. Biopsy of these polyps showed hamartomatous type. Post operative period was uneventful. She recovered well. So far there was no recurrence of pain. She is on regular follow up. J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2019; 37(3): 160-164

Background: Enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) are frequently seen in children with abdominal pain and in the absence of other disorders, have been attributed to primary mesenteric lymphadenitis. Mesenteric lymphadenitis is commonly reported in children with acute, chronic or recurrent abdominal pain and no evidence of other pathologies. The purpose of this study was to find out the association of USG finding of enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes with causation of recurrent abdominal pain and outcome of these patients on follow up.Methods: This hospital based prospective study was done on 82 patients aged 5 to 15 years, attending Bal Chikitsalaya, RNT Medical college, Udaipur, fulfilling Apley’s criteria of RAP. Detailed history, physical examination, relevant investigations and USG abdomen was done in all patients.Results: Eighty-two children were enrolled; out of which majority (62.19%) were in age group 5-8 years with mean age 7.9±2.69 years. Mesenteric lymphadenopathy was found in 14 (17.07%) cases. All patients with mesenteric lymphadenopathy 14 (100%) had periumbilical pain and diurnal variation of pain. Follow up of 14 patients who had mesenteric lymphadenopathy showed that in 12 (85.71%) patients, the mesenteric lymphadenopathy resolved on USG despite that pain abdomen persisted in 7 (58.33%).Conclusions: The presence of mesenteric lymphadenopathy can’t be attributed to recurrent abdominal pain.

Children's Pain

Forty-three children with recurrent abdominal pain who had received treatment from a paediatric gastroenterology clinic were reassessed 6 and 12 months after initial presentation. Measures of children's pain included a pain diary (PD) which measured pain intensity, a parent observation record (POR) which assessed pain behaviour and a structured interview to assess the degree to which pain interferes with the child's activities. Pretreatment measures of the child's history of pain, coping strategies in dealing with pain, and their mother's caregiving strategies were examined as predictors of two indices of clinical improvement: the extent of change in pain on the child's pain diary from pre-test to 6 months follow-up, and the degree of interference to the child's activities. All children had shown significant improvement in the level of pain at follow up, with 74.4% being pain free at 12 month follow-up on the PD and 83.7% being pain free on the POR. The amount of change they showed varied, with some showing residual impairment even though they were significantly improved. Regression analyses showed that children with greatest reductions on the child's pain diary at the 6 month follow-up were those with a stress-related mode of onset, whose mothers used more adaptive caregiving strategies, and who received cognitive behavioural family intervention. There was also a non significant trend for younger children to fare better. These data suggest the importance of early diagnosis and routinely assessing parental caregiving behaviour and beliefs about the origins of pain in planning treatment for children with RAP.
