Gastric volvulus and associated gastro-oesophageal reflux.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Between 1984 and 1994, 10 neurologically normal children between 2 and 24 months were diagnosed as having gastric volvulus with associated gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR). The common features at presentation were episodic colicky abdominal pain, non-bilious vomiting, upper abdominal distension, haematemesis, and failure to thrive. Anterior gastropexy and conservative management of GOR was curative.

Vagal function in relation to gastro-oesophageal reflux and associated motility changes.
Vagal function in 28 patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux was examined by determining gastric secretory response to insulin-induced hypoglycaemia and pulse-rate variation with respiration. Gastric secretory studies were also performed on 13 patients with duodenal ulcer who had not undergone operations. In all patients the presence and degree of oesophagitis were determined endoscopically and...
متن کاملGastric emptying with gastro-oesophageal reflux.
The time taken for gastric emptying of a liquid (milk) or a semi-liquid (pudding) meal was evaluated in 477 infants and children. These patients were referred for suspected gastro-oesophageal reflux and underwent gastro-oesophageal scintigraphy, prolonged oesophageal pH study, manometric evaluation of the lower oesophageal sphincter pressure, and fibreoptic endoscopy. No difference in gastric e...
متن کاملGastric emptying and gastro-oesophageal reflux in preterm infants.
Gastro-oesophageal reflux is common in preterm infants, but the role of gastric emptying as a causal factor has not been studied before. Gastric emptying was therefore measured in 19 healthy preterm infants (median gestational age 32 weeks) while concurrently measuring 24 hour lower oesophageal pH, using an antimony pH electrode, positioned manometrically. Real time ultrasonic images of the gas...
متن کاملGastro-oesophageal reflux disease.
Accepted for publication 25 March 1991 Abstract Recent studies suggest that vagal nerve dysfunction may be important in the aetiology of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. Delayed oesophageal transit and slowed gastric emptying occur frequently and may also be of pathogenic importance. In 48 patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease we studied the prevalence of and relations between auton...
متن کاملBronchial asthma and acid reflux into the distal and proximal oesophagus.
The prevalence of pathological gastro-oesophageal reflux in children and adolescents with asthma was studied by 24 hour two level oesophageal pH monitoring in 42 subjects aged 9-20 years with moderate or severe bronchial asthma. The importance of oesophagobronchial nerve reflexes and of aspiration of gastric acid as triggers in asthma was assessed by studying whether episodes of reflux into the...
