Interstitial cystitis in adolescent girls

A Farkas, J Waisman, W E Goodwin

    The Journal of Urology
    |November 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Interstitial cystitis (IC) is rare in children, even with large bladder ulcers, requiring histological confirmation for diagnosis. Conservative treatment is recommended, similar to adults, after excluding other conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Pediatric Urology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic condition characterized by bladder pain and urinary urgency.
    • Diagnosis in pediatric populations can be challenging due to overlapping symptoms with other urological conditions.

    Observation:

    • Two adolescent girls presented with typical, large bladder ulcerations suggestive of IC.
    • Histological examination of full-thickness bladder wall resections confirmed the diagnosis in both cases.

    Findings:

    • Rigorous diagnostic criteria, including histological confirmation, indicate that interstitial cystitis is rare in children.
    • Symptoms of urinary frequency and discomfort necessitate exclusion of infection, tuberculosis, and other bladder abnormalities.

    Implications:

    • Pediatric IC management mirrors adult approaches, emphasizing conservative treatments.
    • Surgical intervention, such as intestinal augmentation cystoplasty, may be considered for refractory cases.
