Upper gastrointestinal involvement beyond the duodenum in pediatric celiac disease (CD) remains undercharacterized. We conducted a single-center retrospective analysis of children who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy, comparing CD cases with non-CD controls. Biopsies were graded using the modified Marsh-Oberhuber and Sydney systems; Helicobacter pylori was assessed by histology and rapid urease testing. Outcomes were esophagitis, gastritis subtypes, H pylori infection, peptic ulcers, and, in CD, associations with Marsh stage. Among 996 procedures, 260 (26.1%) had CD. Gastritis was common in both groups, with chronic active gastritis most frequent. Chronic lymphocytic gastritis was more prevalent in CD (P < .05), while H pylori infection was lower (39.6% vs 50.3%; P < .05). Peptic ulcers were more frequent in CD, predominantly in the duodenal bulb (P < .001). Esophagitis showed an inverse relationship with Marsh stage (P < .05). These findings delineate distinct upper gastrointestinal features in pediatric CD and may support a more comprehensive evaluation of the upper gastrointestinal tract during diagnostic endoscopy.

Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.

Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
Pathophysiology of Peptic Ulcer Disease: Injurious Factors
In the antrum region, G cells secrete the gastrin hormone that binds to gastrin-cholecystokinin-B (CCK2) receptors on parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the fundic glands. Simultaneously, the vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, which binds to M3...
