Article Synopsis
- Sigmoid volvulus is a rare bowel obstruction in kids that can be misdiagnosed, delaying treatment and causing complications.
- In adults, it's a common issue, but there’s little research on how to treat it in children, leading to the use of adult protocols for pediatric care.
- A 15-year-old boy had recurring sigmoid volvulus, but after imaging and studies showed no serious damage, he was treated successfully with a combination of colonoscopic decompression and laparoscopic sigmoidectomy, highlighting the need for prompt diagnosis and treatment in young patients.
The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the percentage of emergency department (ED) visits due to musculoskeletal pain (MSP) by children 3-14 years of age during a period of 1 year; (2) to determine the most frequent presenting complaints; and (3) to characterize their etiology. A cross-sectional study was performed on children aged 3-14(11/12) years attended at the ED of a tertiary hospital due to MSP. The demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients were reviewed 5 days each month for 12 consecutive months.
