Abstract

Recurrent abdominal pain (RAP) has been reported to occur in 10 % to 15 % of children. RAP usually starts at ages 5 to 6 and continues to increase and peaks around age 7 to 12 years. Many organic and funstional abnormalities may cause RAP in this report, we aimed to invest gate the etiology of RAP in patients who were referred to Pedatric Gastorenterology between January 2001 and March 2002. 172 patients (84 famales and 118 males) were included in the study. 83 patients had gastric and peptic iilcus, which were the most prevalent diagnoses. 26 patients had constipation, 15 patients urinary infection, 15 patients giardiasis, 6 patients familial mediterranean fever and 3 patients were dignosed as celiac disease. One pateint had familial intestinal lymphangiectasia and one patient had cholelithiasis as the cause of recurent pain. 22 patients were evaluated as functional abdominal pain. In conclusion, our observations indicate that de to advances in laboratory and imaging techniques, higher proportion of organic abnormalities are responsible from recurrent abdominal pain than has been found in previously reported studies.

Özet

Çocukların % 10-15'i tekrarlayan karın ağrılarından yakınmaktadır. Karın ağrısı yakınması genellikle 5-6 yaşlarında başlayıp, 7-12 yaşlarında yoğunlaşır. Etiyolojisinden pek çok organik ve psikolojik neden sorumlu tutulmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, tekrarlayan karın ağrısı yakınması ile Pediatrik Gastroenteroloji polikliniğine başvuran çocuklarda etiyoloji incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Ocak 2001 - Mart 2002 tarihleri arasında tekrarlayan karın ağrısı yakınması ile başvuran 172 olgu incelendi. Olguların 84'ü kız 118'i erkek olup, yaş dağılımı 3-15 yıl (median 8 yıl) idi. Olguların 83'ünde kronik karın ağrısı nedeni gastrik ve peptik ülser idi. Diğer nedenler olarak konstipasyon 26 olgu, üriner sistem infeksiyonu 15 olgu, giardiasis 15 olgu, ailesel akdeniz ateşi 6 olgu ve çölyak hastalığı 3 olgu olarak bulundu. Bir olgu ailesel intestinal lenfanjiektazi ve bir olgu da kolelityazis tanısı aldı. Herhangi bir neden saptanamayan 22 olgu fonksiyonel karın ağrısı olarak değerlendirildi. Sonuç olarak, giderek gelişen tanı yöntemleriyle çocukluk çağı tekrarlayan karın ağrılarının nedenlerinin önceki yıllarda bildirildiği gibi sıklıkla fonksiyonel veya psikojenik nedenli olmayıp, daha fazla oranda organik nedenlere bağlı olduğunu vurgulamak istedik.
