Gastroduodenal intussusception in an elderly patient: A rare case.

Gastroduodenal intussusception is a rare but important cause of gastric outlet obstruction, particularly in elderly patients. We present the case of an 81-year-old female who arrived at the emergency department with complaints of epigastric pain, nausea, and vomiting. A CT scan revealed gastroduodenal intussusception, while subsequent endoscopy identified a submucosal mass, raising suspicion for either a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) or pancreatic rest.

Developmental delay in young children with sleep-disordered breathing before and after tonsil and adenoid surgery.

Objective: Our objective was to determine the developmental status of young children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) as measured by the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3) and to evaluate improvement after treatment.

Methods: The ASQ-3 was completed at entry, 3 months and 6 months after adenotonsillectomy or adenoidectomy. The questionnaire consists of 30 items that assess five domains: communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving and personal-social.
