The proportion of children with severe neurodevelopmental disabilities, in whom symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux develop after gastrostomy placement, has not been well studied. The medical records of children who received a gastrostomy tube (with or without a simultaneous antireflux procedure) at
Seventeen infants between 3 and 37 weeks of age were sequentially admitted for investigation of apnea of infancy or apparent life-threatening events associated with suspected regurgitation. They all underwent an overnight polygraphic study, including esophageal pH monitoring. In nine infants,
Gastroesophageal reflux disease can have variable manifestations including regurgitation, irritability, arching, choking, and apnea. The disorder is also frequently mistaken for seizures (Sandifer syndrome). We report 6 patients in whom the opposite phenomenon occurred: their seizures were mistaken
BACKGROUND
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can mimic epileptic seizure, and may be misdiagnosed as epilepsy. On the other hand, GERD can be more commonly seen in children with neurological disorders such as cerebral palsy (CP); this co-incidence may complicate the management of patients by
A four-month-old boy with pseudo-seizures was extensively investigated for fits and gastro-oesophageal reflux and subsequently treated for presumed epilepsy. It was finally established that his mother was inducing the "seizures" by asphyxiation and subsequent interviews established that information
Williams-Beuren syndrome is rarely associated with epilepsy. One previously reported case showed an association with apnoeic seizures while a few other cases showed an association with infantile epileptic spasms and generalized and focal seizures. We report the case of a 13-month-old boy with a
Determining clinically whether or not a child with abnormal movements is having seizures is rarely easy. Several non-epileptic causes of apparent seizures are well described, especially gastro-oesophageal reflux. Stool withholding is very common in childhood, and can start very soon after birth.
Gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) has been identified as a possible cause of SIDS. Several features of GOR unique to infants presenting with apparent life-threatening events (ALTEs) have led to its 'pathogenic' definition. One is that the life-threatening apnoea itself is initiated by GOR, another is
OBJECTIVE
The principal objective of this retrospective, cohort study was to determine if clinically significant gastroesophageal reflux (GER) would impair the long-term cognitive and motor development of preterm infants. An additional objective was to determine the effects of clinically significant
OBJECTIVE
Although laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is the standard surgical treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), surgical complications and post-operative pain are not uncommon, especially for those patients who are neurologically impaired (NI) or undergoing re-operative
BACKGROUND
Fundoplication is considered a mainstay in the treatment of gastro-esophageal reflux. However, the literature reports significant recurrences and limited data on long-term outcome.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate our long-term outcomes of antireflux surgery in children and to assess the results of
A 52-year-old Japanese man was admitted to our hospital for evaluation of syncope and convulsions. An electrocardiogram on admission revealed normal sinus rhythm. However, after repeated bouts of coughing, the heart rate showed bradycardia associated with convulsion. He was diagnosed with cough
BACKGROUND
Generally, treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in the elderly follows the same principles as for any adult patient. Currently laparoscopic antireflux surgery (LARS) has not been clearly established in the elderly patient. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate
Apneic episodes, quite common in newborns, are considered rare after age 1 month, when gastroesophageal reflux, cardiac arrhythmias, idiopathic central apnea, and seizures become included in differential diagnosis. Determining the cause of apnea is important as treatment differs significantly and
Neonatal seizures are a potentially life-threatening pediatric problem with a variety of causes, such as birth trauma, asphyxia, congenital anomalies, metabolic disturbances, infections, and drug withdrawal or intoxication. Thorough and timely evaluations of such patients are necessary to identify
