Abstract

Background: Colorectal polyps are among the common causes for rectal bleeding in children. They rarely have malignant potential. This study aims to present a clinical experience on colorectal polyps with an emphasis on utility of colonoscopy in these children. Methods: File records of patients treated between the years 2001-2011 were retrospectively evaluated in terms of age, sex, diagnostic methods, localization of polyps and pathological results. Results: There were 63 patients with a mean age of 6 years (1-15 years). Among these, 38 (60 %) were males and 25 (40 %) females. The presenting complaint was rectal bleeding in 60, prolapsed polyps in 2 and prolapsed rectum in one. The use of colonoscopy was initiated within the last 9-month of the study period. The polyps were removed by transanal route in 54. Colonoscopy was done with successful removal in all except one for the remaining 9 and yielded polyps in rectum in 4, in sigmoid colon in 3, in transverse colon in one and multiple polyps in one. Histopathology results were available in 62 and consistent with juvenile polyps in 51, hamartamatous in 2, hyperplastic in 2, pseudopolyps in 4, lymphoid in 2 and inflammatory fibroid in one. Conclusions: Although many rectal polyps are palpated and can be removed by anorectal route in children, the incidence of nonpalpable rectal polyps and colonic polyps should not be underestimated. The polyps are benign in most children. Colonoscopic examination increases the diagnostic accuracy and adds to the treatment keeping the possible presence of premalignant conditions in these children. Routine colonoscopic examination should be offered for all children with suspected or proven polyps.

Özet

Amaç: Kolorektal polipler çocuklarda rektal kanamanın sıkgörülen nedenlerindendir. Nadiren habis potansiyel taşırlar.Bu çalışmada çocuklarda kolorektal poliplere ait klinik deneyiminsunulması ve bu çerçevede kolonoskopinin etkinliğininvurgulanması amaçlandı.Yöntem: 2001-2011 yılları arasında tedavi edilen hastalarındosya kayıtları geriye dönük olarak yaş, cinsiyet, tanısal yöntemler,poliplerin yerleşimi ve patoloji sonuçları açısındanirdelendi.Bulgular: Ortalama yaşı 6 (1-15 yıl) olan 63 hasta vardı.Hastaların 38'i (% 60) erkek ve 25'i (% 40) kızdı. Başvuruyakınması 60 hastada rektal kanama, 2 hastada prolabe polipve 1 hastada rektum prolapsusu idi. Kolonoskopik incelemeçalışmanın kapsadığı son 9 ayda yapılmaya başlandı. Hastaların54'ünde polipler transanal yolla çıkartıldı. Kolonoskopiyapılan 9 hastanın. 4'ünde rektumda, 3'ünde sigmoid kolonda,1'inde transvers kolonda ve 1'inde çoklu yerde polip saptanarak8'inde kolonoskopik polipektomi yapıldı. Histopatolojikinceleme sonuçları 62 hastada mevcuttu. Buna gore, poliplerhastaların 51'inde juvenil, 2'sinde hamartamatöz, 2'sindehiperplastik, 4'ünde psödopolip, 2'sinde lenfoid ve 1'inde enflamatuvarfibroid tipteydi.Sonuç: Çoğu çocukta rektal polipler muayene ile palpe edilerekanorektal yoldan çıkartılabilirse de palpe edilemeyen rektalpolipler ile kolonik poliplerin insidansı da azımsanmamalı-dır. Çocuk polipleri çoğunlukla selimdir. Kolonoskopik değerlendirmetanısal kesinliği artırmasının yanı sıra, olası premaligndurumlar da göz önüne alınarak, tedavide önemli katkısağlar. Polip şüphesi veya tanısı bulun.
