The inflammatory polyp-fold complex (IPFC), a rare finding in children, is linked to reflux esophagitis. Acid suppression therapy may improve IPFC and esophagitis symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Gastrointestinal Pathology

Background:

  • The inflammatory polyp-fold complex (IPFC) is an uncommon finding in pediatric endoscopy.
  • IPFC involves an inflammatory polyp at the gastroesophageal junction, often continuous with a gastric fold.

Observation:

  • Four pediatric cases of IPFC were identified.
  • All cases were associated with reflux esophagitis.

Findings:

  • Histological examination revealed inflammatory infiltrate in benign gastric and esophageal mucosa.
  • In two patients, acid suppression therapy reduced polyp size and improved esophagitis histologically.

Implications:

  • This study highlights the association between IPFC and reflux esophagitis in children.
