Background: Chronic abdominal pain is a common disorder in children and adolescents worldwide. In attacking this problem, the pediatrician often concentrates on the gastrointestinal or genitourinary tract as a source of the pain. Too little attention is paid to the gallbladder as the cause of pain in this age group.1 We report a 6-year-old girl who presented with recurrent abdominal pain and was diagnosed as having a multiseptate gallbladder (MSG). MSG, although rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with recurrent abdominal pain and abdominal ultrasonography should form part of the investigation.

Irritable Bowel

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is characterized by recurrent abdominal pain or discomfort that has occurred at least 3 days per month in the 3 months prior to diagnosis. One of the subtypes of this disorder is IBS with constipation (IBS-C), where individuals experience hard or lumpy stools at least 25% of the time and loose or watery stools less than 25% of the time with defecation. This review addresses IBS-C, detailing the epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology and pathogenesis, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. A figure shows the Bristol stool form scale. Tables list IBS subtypes, components of digital rectal examination, differential diagnoses for IBS and IBS-C, alarm features, and the American College of Gastroenterology Recommendations. This review contains 1 highly rendered figure, 6 tables, and 71 references.

<i>Introduction:</i> Chronic abdominal pain in children is a very frequent and sometimes challenging diagnostic issue. Differential diagnosis in that cases is difficult and often connected with numerous, time-consuming, expensive, and frequently stressful diagnostic studies. The aim of the study was to establish whether fecal calprotectin concentration (FCC) and TNF-alpha may be useful in children with chronic abdominal pain to differentiate between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), other inflammatory gastrointestinal disorders, and functional gastrointestinal disorders. Methods. The study included patients (median age 13 years), who were assigned to functional gastrointestinal disorders group (n=33); inflammatory gastrointestinal disorders other than IBD (n=71), children with IBD (n=37) and 22 healthy children served as a control group. The concertation of FCC and TNF-alpha in stool samples was measured using ELISA. <i>Results:</i> In healthy children and in children with functional disorders FCCs were below 100 μg/g. In patients with IBD FCCs and TNF-alpha were markedly elevated as compare to children with functional gastrointestinal disorders, however using ROC discrimination of IBD patients was significantly better using FCC than TNF-alpha. <i>Conclusion:</i> FCC is better test for differentiation between IBD, other inflammatory gastrointestinal disorders, and functional gastrointestinal disorders as compare to TNF-alpha concentration in stool. FCC as screening test in patients with chronic abdominal pain should allow to diminish unnecessary diagnostic in cases of functional gastrointestinal disorders.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is usually performed for gallstones or polyp of the gallbladder. Multiseptate gallbladder is a rare congenital malformation. Although several asymptomatic cases have been described, patient usually present with right upper abdominal pain. We present a 29-year-old female patient with multiseptate gallbladder, cholecystectomy was performed, and her abdominal pain and gastrointestinal complaints have resolved.

Introduction: Gastrointestinal disorders are very common in paediatric population. Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy procedures have increased dramatically worldwide and have contributed in identification of various gastrointestinal disorders along with therapeutic benefits. However, it is recently being established in paediatric population in Nepal and proper data is scarce. This study was aimed to assess upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with respect to its indications and diagnostic yield at a tertiary centre over a three years period. Methods: This is a retrospective observational study where data of all paediatric patients between the age group 0 - 15 years having various gastrointestinal problems who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy from March 2013 - Feb 2016 in our centre were analysed. Results: Among 270 patients, males comprised 60% and females comprised 40%. Age range was 0 - 15 years and majority were from the age group between 10 to 15 years (66.2%). Most common indications for endoscopy were chronic abdominal pain (58.8%), acute epigastric pain (18.5%), followed by failure to thrive (7%). Abnormal findings were detected in 250 patients (92.5%); gastroduodenitis (28.14%), antral gastritis (18.51%), erosive gastritis (15.92%), duodenitis (9.25%), hiatus hernia (7.4%), varices (5.5%) were common findings. Histopathologically, chronic gastritis and duodenitis (72%) were common findings followed by acute gastritis and giardiasis. Among 80 patients who underwent RUT, 50% each had positive and negative results. Conclusion: Chronic abdominal pain remains common gastrointestinal problem in children. With the advent of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy various gastrointestinal problems can be identified and managed accordingly. Along with the facility of histopathology, diagnostic yield and outcome is further enhanced.

Children with chronic recurrent abdominal pain present a frequently encountered and often perplexing problem in differential diagnosis. Apley states that the incidence of this condition, based on his investigation of 1,000 unselected schoolchildren, was calculated to be 10.8% of all children; and in a large outpatient clinic, Conway found this condition in an estimated 10% of all pediatric patients. Organic causes of chronic recurrent abdominal pain occur with an estimated frequency varying from 5% to 20% of these afflicted children. Since the great majority of children with this complaint seem to demonstrate no primary underlying organic cause, the assumptions can be made that either the examination failed to expose the somatic abnormality responsible for the pain or that these children's symptoms are from what is referred to as "functional," "idiopathic," or "emotional" origins.

Symptomatic intestinal malrotation first presenting in the adults is rare. Midgut volvulus is the most common complication of malrotation in the adults. Because of more differential diagnosis, Computed Tomography (CT) scan can play an important role in the evaluation of patients with this abnormality. The whirl pattern around the superior mesenteric artery found on CT scan in patients with midgut volvulus is pathognomonic and diagnostic. We describe a case of intestinal malrotation complicated by midgut volvulus in an adult patient. The preoperative CT findings were pathognomonic.
