    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopic Procedures

    Background:

    • Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common in children.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility and safety of diagnostic and therapeutic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in pediatric patients.
    • To assess the role of endoscopy in identifying causes of hematemesis, dysphagia, and chronic diarrhea.

    Main Methods:

    • Diagnostic and therapeutic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed on 200 children.
    • Duodenal biopsies were obtained for histological examination.

    Main Results:

    • Endoscopy effectively identified causes of upper GI problems, including hematemesis and dysphagia.
    • Esophageal varices in children with suspected portal hypertension were detected early.
    • Three cases of celiac disease were diagnosed via duodenal biopsies in children with chronic diarrhea.

    Conclusions:

    • Fiberoptic endoscopy plays a significant role in pediatric practice.
    • The procedure is largely safe and beneficial for diagnosing and managing pediatric GI conditions.
