21
Q

Management for cyclical vomiting syndrome:

A

Quiet dark room
During pristine- lorazepam, antiemtics, Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl, h2 blocker or PPi
Triptans May be used
Prophylactic agents between episodes-same as migraine- may be used
Evaluation to r/o other causes

22
Q

This typically occurs around 3 weeks of age and is caused by hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the muscular layers of the pylorus, causing a functional gastric outlet obstruction.

A

Pyloric stenosis

23
Q

Presentation of pyloric stenosis:

A

Non-bilious vomiting and regurg (70% become projectile)
Still hungry after vomiting
Vomiting occurs post feed
Dehydration, malnutrition, and jaundice may develop

24
Q

Physical exam of pyloric stenosis:

A

1-2 cm olive mass in RUQ

Gastric peristaltic waves may be present prior to vomiting

25
How to diagnosis pyloric stenosis?
Ultrasound is gold standard
26
Primary ulcers of PUD?
Duodenal
27
Secondary ulcer in PUD:
Gastric
28
PUD most common in peds in:
Boys and children 12-18

35
This is invagination of bowel proximal to the ileocecal valve- proximal segment of the bowel telescopes/invaginates into a more distal segment, causing edema, vascular compromise, and partial/total obstruction.
Intussusception
36
Who and when does intussuception usually occur?
Males greater than females Peak incidence 3-12 months Most common cause of intestinal obstruction under 2 Peaks in summer and midwinter
37

Stools- current jelly Paroxysmal episodic abdominal pain with vomiting every 5-30 minutes In between is calm, sleeping, or lethargic
38
Physical findings of intussusception:
Distended, tender abdomin Dances sign- RUQ sausage shaped mass with RLQ empty spaces Occult blood or visible blood
39
Diagnostic work up for intussusception?
Abdominal US is diagnostic
40
Management of intussusception?
Air or barium enema- dx and treat | Surgery if not corrected
41
This is inappropriate and ongoing activation of mucosal immune system driven by normal flora.
IBD
42
This occurs in the small intestine and lower intestine is possible, is a segmental disease, that causes granulomatous and abscesses.
