    Background:

    • Psychosomatic symptoms in children can be challenging to diagnose.
    • Family dynamics significantly influence a child's psychological and physical well-being.

    Observation:

    • An 8-year-old boy presented with grunting noises.
    • A 17-year-old girl experienced severe barking cough attacks.
    • Symptoms persisted for several months before diagnosis in both cases.

    Findings:

    • The underlying cause for both patients was identified as a disturbed family situation.
    • Specialized treatment included individual and group discussions.
    • Behavioral pattern recommendations were provided to the patients.

    Implications:

    • Complete symptom resolution was achieved in both pediatric patients post-therapy.
    • The pathomechanism suggests a conscious reaction to subconscious family conflicts.
    • Highlights the importance of addressing family environment in pediatric psychosomatic disorders.
