Abstract

Real-time ultrasonography (US) of the gastric antrum after ingestion of a mixed solid-liquid meal was performed in 60 patients (median age, 8.2 years; range, 3-17) being investigated for symptoms suggesting upper intestinal dysfunction (vomiting, regurgitation, abdominal pain, early satiety, and anorexia) and in 13 controls (median age, 5 years; range, 3-15). The diagnostic work-up allowed identification of 14 patients with esophagitis (group A) and 26 with Helicobacter pylori (HP) gastritis (group B); median age in group A was 9 years (range, 3-15) and in group B was 9.5 years (range, 3-17). Group A patients had significantly more prolonged gastric-emptying times (median, 180 min; range, 110-270) than did controls (median, 150 min; range, 110-180; p < 0.01); however, group A times were not significantly longer than those of group B patients (median, 160 min; range, 90-265). In the remaining 20 patients (group C; median age, 7.1 years; range, 3-15) without a specific diagnosis, markedly delayed gastric emptying was detected (median, 237 min; range, 165-270; p < 0.01 vs. group B patients and vs. controls; p < 0.05 vs. group A patients); in this group, GI manometry revealed findings of deranged motility of the gut. Distension of ...Continue Reading
