M J Bell, J P Keating, J L Ternberg

    Journal of Pediatric Surgery
    |December 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Infants with severe illnesses can develop gastroduodenal perforation, often preceded by gastrointestinal bleeding. This serious condition in infants requires better preventive and therapeutic strategies due to a high mortality rate.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Neonatal Critical Care
    • Surgical Neonatology

    Background:

    • Gastroduodenal perforation is a rare but serious complication in infants.
    • Infants with severe underlying illnesses are at increased risk.
    • Previous research indicates differences between infant and adult stress ulceration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the incidence and characteristics of gastroduodenal perforation in infants.
    • To compare infant gastroduodenal perforation with adult stress ulceration.
    • To highlight the severity and mortality associated with this condition in neonates.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of infant cases over a 5-year period.
    • Analysis of clinical presentation, including gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
    • Literature review of similar cases treated since 1960.

    Main Results:

    • Ten infants under 1 year of age developed gastroduodenal perforation.
    • Brisk gastrointestinal hemorrhage was a common preceding symptom.
    • Infant perforations were frequently single ulcers, predominantly in the duodenum.

    Conclusions:

    • Gastroduodenal perforation in infants is associated with a high mortality rate (40%).
    • Current preventive and therapeutic measures are insufficient.
    • The findings underscore the critical nature of the underlying illnesses and the complication.
