Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pediatrics
  • Functional Disorders

Context:

  • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the most prevalent chronic functional gastrointestinal disorder affecting both children and adults.
  • This study examines IBS in 332 children, comparing findings with existing literature.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate epidemiological aspects, pathogenic hypotheses, and clinical presentations of IBS in children.
  • To outline diagnostic and management strategies for pediatric IBS.

Summary:

  • Epidemiological data, including frequency, sex, and age, along with family histories, were analyzed.
  • Pathogenic hypotheses, particularly alterations in gastrointestinal motility influenced by psychological factors, prostaglandins, and bile acids, were considered.
  • Clinical manifestations vary with age, ranging from infantile colic and toddler's diarrhea to recurrent abdominal pain in older children, often alternating with constipation.
