Background
/Aims: Walled-off necrosis (WON) is a severe complication of acute pancreatitis in children, with limited evidence on its endoscopic management. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) placement for WON in pediatric patients.
Methods
This open-label prospective study included pediatric patients aged 5–18 years with WON secondary to acute necrotizing pancreatitis that was managed with EUS-guided LAMS at a tertiary center from January 2021 to July 2023. Clinical success, defined as symptom resolution and WON clearance at 12 weeks, was the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included technical success, complications, and the need for additional interventions.
Results
Eleven patients (mean age, 15.5±3.1 years) were included. Clinical success was achieved in 90.9% of the patients within 12 weeks, with a 100% technical success rate. Two patients experienced stent occlusions that were managed with saline irrigation; one case required video-assisted retroperitoneal debridement. The mean hospital stay was 5.4±3.3 days. No major adverse events were reported.
Conclusions
EUS-guided LAMS placement is a safe and effective alternative to surgery for pediatric WON, with high clinical and technical success rates and minimal complications. Further multicenter studies are required to validate these findings.

Background
/Aims: The safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in hepatic cirrhosis and the impact of Child-Pugh class on post-ERCP complications need to be better studied. We investigated the post-ERCP complication rates in patients with cirrhosis compared with those without cirrhosis.
Methods
We conducted a literature search of relevant databases to identify studies that reported post-ERCP complications in patients with hepatic cirrhosis.
Results
Twenty-four studies comprising 28,201 patients were included. The pooled incidence of post-ERCP complications in cirrhosis was 15.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 11.8%–19.2%; I2=96.2%), with an individual pooled incidence of pancreatitis 5.1% (95% CI, 3.1%–7.2%; I2=91.5%), bleeding 3.6% (95% CI, 2.8%–4.5%; I2=67.5%), cholangitis 2.9% (95% CI, 1.9%–3.8%; I2=83.4%), and perforation 0.3% (95% CI, 0.1%–0.5%; I2=3.7%). Patients with cirrhosis had a greater risk of post-ERCP complications (risk ratio [RR], 1.41; 95% CI, 1.16–1.71; I2=56.3%). The risk of individual odds of adverse events between cirrhosis and non-cirrhosis was as follows: pancreatitis (RR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.06–1.48; I2=24.8%), bleeding (RR, 1.94; 95% CI, 1.59–2.37; I2=0%), cholangitis (RR, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.77–1.70; I2=12%), and perforation (RR, 1.20; 95% CI, 0.59–2.43; I2=0%).
Conclusions
Cirrhosis is associated with an increased risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis, bleeding, and cholangitis.

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Background
/Aims: This study aimed to study the endoscopic yield, appropriateness, and complications of pediatric endoscopy performed by adult gastroenterologists in an adult endoscopic suite.
Methods
This a retrospective study in which records of all the patients less than 18 years of age who underwent endoscopy in the last 5 years were studied. The indications of endoscopy in children were categorized as appropriate or inappropriate per the latest guidelines by American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition. Positive endoscopic yield was defined as the presence of any abnormality on endoscopy.
Results
Among the total of 822 children (age <18 years), the most common indications were variceal surveillance/eradication in 157 (19.1%), followed by dyspepsia in 143 (17.4%), upper gastrointestinal (UGI) bleeding in 136 (16.5%), recurrent abdominal pain in 94 (11.4%), unexplained anemia in 74 (9%), recurrent vomiting in 50 (6.08%), chronic refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease in 34 (4.1%) and others; 780 out of 822 endoscopic procedures (94.9%) done in children were appropriate as per the guidelines. The endoscopic yield was 45.8%, highest in patients with UGI bleeding (71.3%), followed by variceal surveillance (54.8%), recurrent vomiting (38%), dyspepsia (37.8%), and recurrent abdominal pain (36%). Minor adverse events occurred in 7.3% of children.
Conclusions
Pediatric endoscopy performed by an experienced adult gastroenterologist may be acceptable if done in cooperation with a pediatrician.

Case Report
A Case of Eosinophilic Esophagitis Associated with Herpes Esophagitis in a Pediatric Patient
Jisun Kim, Kunsong Lee, Wonae Lee
Clin Endosc 2019;52(6):606-611.   Published online July 17, 2019
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2019.021
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Eosinophilic esophagitis is a rare disease in Asian countries, but its incidence is growing rapidly in Western countries. The main pathophysiology of eosinophilic esophagitis is esophageal epithelial barrier dysfunction; disruption of the esophageal epithelial barrier easily induces antigen sensitization to foods and aeroallergens, which leads to subsequent esophageal inflammation as a result of eosinophil recruitment. Here we report a case of an 11-year-old Korean boy who suffered from fever, odynophagia, dysphagia, and chest pain. His upper endoscopic findings showed longitudinal ulcers with a volcano-like appearance at the distal esophagus. Polymerase chain reaction test results and biopsy specimens were positive for herpes simplex virus type 1. He was treated with acyclovir and a proton pump inhibitor, but his follow-up endoscopy showed typical patterns of eosinophilic esophagitis, and the biopsy specimens were compatible with the diagnostic criteria for eosinophilic esophagitis. Therefore, we report a very rare case of eosinophilic esophagitis after herpes esophagitis in a Korean child with normal immunity.

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
The safety and effectiveness of pediatric colonoscopy for lower gastrointestinal tract diseases have been established in Korea for about 30 years. Both diagnostic and therapeutic colonoscopies have had many advances in terms of operator skill and experience and are now being performed by most pediatric gastroenterologists. Pediatric colonoscopy is different in many aspects from that of adults, such as expected diagnoses, patient management, bowel preparation, selection criteria for sedation, and instrument selection. In this review, the author presents practical information on pediatric colonoscopy, the author’s experiences, and the changes in colonoscopy practices over a decade in a tertiary hospital in Korea.

Foreign Body Ingestion in Children
Ji Hyuk Lee
Clin Endosc 2018;51(2):129-136.   Published online March 30, 2018
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2018.039
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Foreign body (FB) ingestion in children is common and most children are observed to be between 6 months and 3 years of age. Although most FBs in the gastrointestinal tract pass spontaneously without complications, endoscopic or surgical removal may be required in a few children. Thus, FB ingestion presents a significant clinical difficulty in pediatric gastroenterological practice. Parameters that need to be considered regarding the timing of endoscopic removal of ingested FBs in children are the children’s age or body weight, the clinical presentation, time lapse since ingestion, time of last meal, type as well as size and shape of the FB, and its current location in the gastrointestinal tract. Esophageal button batteries require emergency removal regardless of the presence of symptoms because they can cause serious complications. Coins, magnets, or sharp FBs in the esophagus should be removed within 2 hours in symptomatic and within 24 hours in asymptomatic children. Among those presenting with a single or multiple magnets and a metallic FB that have advanced beyond the stomach, symptomatic children need a consultation with a pediatric surgeon for surgery, and asymptomatic children may be followed with serial X-rays to assess progression. Sharp or pointed, and long or large and wide FBs located in the esophagus or stomach require endoscopic removal.

Sedation in Pediatric Esophagogastroduodenoscopy
Seak Hee Oh
Clin Endosc 2018;51(2):120-128.   Published online March 30, 2018

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Pediatric esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) has become an established diagnostic and therapeutic modality in pediatric gastroenterology. Effective sedation strategies have been adopted to improve patient tolerance during pediatric EGD. For children, safety is a fundamental consideration during this procedure as they are at a higher risk of severe adverse events from procedural sedation compared to adults. Therefore, a detailed risk evaluation is required prior to the procedure, and practitioners should be aware of the benefits and risks associated with sedation regimens during pediatric EGD. In addition, pediatric advanced life support by endoscopists or immediate intervention by anesthesiologists should be available in the event that severe adverse events occur during pediatric EGD.

Ménétrier’s Disease as a Gastrointestinal Manifestation of Active Cytomegalovirus Infection in a 22-Month-Old Boy: A Case Report with a Review of the Literature of Korean Pediatric Cases
Jeana Hong, Seungkoo Lee, Yoonjung Shon
Clin Endosc 2018;51(1):89-94.   Published online June 13, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2017.038
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Ménétrier’s disease (MD), which is characterized by hypertrophic gastric folds and foveolar cell hyperplasia, is the most common gastrointestinal (GI) cause of protein-losing enteropathy (PLE). The clinical course of MD in childhood differs from that in adults and has often been reported to be associated with cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. We present a case of a previously healthy 22-month-old boy presenting with PLE, who was initially suspected to have an eosinophilic GI disorder (EGID). However, he was eventually confirmed, by detection of CMV DNA using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with gastric tissue, to have MD associated with an active CMV infection. We suggest that endoscopic and pathological evaluation is necessary for the differential diagnosis of MD. In addition, CMV DNA detection using PCR analysis of biopsy tissue is recommended to confirm the etiologic agent of MD regardless of the patient’s age or immune status.

Persistent Nonbilious Vomiting in a Child: Possible Duodenal Webbing

Clin Endosc 2017;50(2):191-196.   Published online October 12, 2016
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2016.093
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
An association between malrotation and congenital duodenal webbing is rare. We present our experience with four patients at two centers, and a review of published reports. There are currently 94 reported cases of duodenal pathology associated with malrotation. However, only 15 of the 94 cases (15.9%) include patients with malrotation and a duodenal web. We suggest that nonbilious vomiting in a child must prompt the surgeon to consider duodenal pathology even in the presence of malrotation.

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub

Cavernous hemangiomas of the gastrointestinal tract are extremely rare. In particular, the diagnosis of small bowel hemangiomas is very difficult in children. A 13-year-old boy presented at the outpatient clinic with dizziness and fatigue. The patient was previously diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia at 3 years of age and had been treated with iron supplements continuously and pure red cell transfusion intermittently. Laboratory tests indicated that the patient currently had iron-deficiency anemia. There was no evidence of gross bleeding, such as hematemesis or bloody stool. Laboratory findings indicated no bleeding tendency. Gastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy results were negative. To obtain a definitive diagnosis, the patient underwent capsule endoscopy. A purplish stalked mass was found in the jejunum, and the mass was excised successfully. We report of a 13-year-old boy who presented with severe and recurrent iron-deficiency anemia caused by a cavernous hemangioma in the small bowel without symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Propofol versus Midazolam for Sedation during Esophagogastroduodenoscopy in Children
Ji Eun Oh, Hae Jeong Lee, Young Hwan Lee
Clin Endosc 2013;46(4):368-372.   Published online July 31, 2013
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2013.46.4.368
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Background/Aims

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of propofol and midazolam for sedation during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in children.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed the hospital records of 62 children who underwent ambulatory diagnostic EGD during 1-year period. Data were collected from 34 consecutive patients receiving propofol alone. Twenty-eight consecutive patients who received sedation with midazolam served as a comparison group. Outcome variables were length of procedure, time to recovery and need for additional supportive measures.

Results

There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in age, weight, sex, and the length of endoscopic procedure. The recovery time from sedation was markedly shorter in propofol group (30±16.41 minutes) compared with midazolam group (58.89±17.32 minutes; p<0.0001). During and after the procedure the mean heart rate was increased in midazolam group (133.04±19.92 and 97.82±16.7) compared with propofol group (110.26±20.14 and 83.26±12.33; p<0.0001). There was no localized pain during sedative administration in midazolam group, though six patients had localized pain during administration of propofol (p<0.028). There was no serious major complication associated with any of the 62 procedures.

Conclusions

Intravenous administered propofol provides faster recovery time and similarly safe sedation compared with midazolam in pediatric patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Background/Aims: ERCP is being used increasingly as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool for children with pancreaticobiliary disorders. Differences between thirteen pediatric ERCPs and adult ERCPs were reviewed with respect to their indications, method of anesthesia, choice of endoscope and complications.

Methods: The medical records of 13 ERCPs for 10 children (age: 23 months to 14 years) done between 2005 and 2008 were reviewed retrospectively.

Results: ERCP was indicated for gallstone pancreatitis (6), choledocholithiasis (3), and unexplained pain (1). The method of anesthesia was intravenous sedation with a single agent or a combination of midazolam, propofol or ketamine. The quality of sedation was satisfactory in 10 cases and unsatisfactory in three cases. These 3 cases were less than 8 years old and sedated with a combination of midazolam and propofol. Selective biliary cannulation was successful in 92.3% (12/13) of attempts. Therapeutic ERCP included sphincterotomy (4), endoscopic papillary balloon dilatation (3), and both (5). Complications occurred in 7.7% of attempts (1/13; 1 duodenal perforation) which was successfully managed by surgery.

Conclusions: Pediatric ERCP is a feasible and useful technique. Special caution is needed, however, because of differences with adult ERCP in terms of the effectiveness of intravenous sedation, complications, and size of the gastrointestinal tract. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2010;41:140-146)

Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2009;39(6):346-351.   Published online December 30, 2009
AbstractAbstract PDF
Background
/Aims: The aim of our study is to investigate the diagnostic value and safety of capsule endoscopy (CE) in the pediatric patients with small bowel (SB) disease.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed the records of 29 children (mean age: 11.8 year) who underwent CE at Seoul National University Children's Hospital between November 2004 and April 2009.
Results
Six (20%) of the total 29 patients could not swallow the capsule (mean age: 10.5 years), so the capsule was endoscopically placed into the stomach of these 6 patients. The CE examination for the entire SB was finished in 89.6% of the patients. The indications for CE studies were obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) or anemia in 14 patients, intestinal polyposis in 8, abdominal pain in 4 and Crohn's disease in 3. The diagnostic yield of CE was 35.7% for OGIB or anemia, 37.5% for intestinal polyposis, 25% for abdominal pain and 33.3% for Crohn's disease. One patient had capsule retention during our CE investigations.
Conclusions
CE is a safe and valuable tool for the detection of SB Crohn's disease, the focus of OGIB and the presence of SB polyps in pediatric patients. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2009;39:346-351)

AbstractAbstract PDF
The common causes of lower gastrointestinal bleeding in children are intussusception, rectal juvenile polyp, chronic inflammatory colitis and Meckel's diverticulum. Bleeding from Dieulafoy's ulcer at the lower gastrointestinal tract is rare, but this often occurs in the rectum. So far, there has been no report that a Dieulafoy lesion in the ileocecal valve might be formed after acute colitis in a pediatric patient. In this case report, a Dieulafoy-like lesion at the ileocecal valve caused lower gastrointestinal bleeding in an asymptomatic 14-year-old woman. A careful history taking and medical examination are mandatory to identify the bleeding focus in the GI tract and this can be treated by endoscopy. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2009;39:166-168)

Methods: The medical records of 30 patients diagnosed with CD between January 1996 and December 2005 were reviewed retrospectively. Results: The actual number of newly diagnosed patients with CD has increased during the 8-year period. The male/female ratio was 2:1 and the mean age at diagnosis was 10.6⁑4.3 years. The major symptoms of CD at diagnosis were abdominal pain (79.2%), weight loss (54.2%), perianal lesion (54.2%), diarrhea (45.8%), hematochezia (41.7%), anemia (29.2%), and fever (23.3%). The disease location of CD was the small bowel in 33.3%, the large bowel in 12.5% and both the small and large bowel in 54.2%. Granuloma was found in 54.2% of patients. The relapse rate of CD in the group with a higher pediatric Crohn disease activity index (PCDAI) at diagnosis (≥30) was higher than in the group with a lower PCDAI (<30). The cumulative relapse rates of the patients with granuloma were 30.2% within 1 year and 53.8% within 5 years after the diagnosis. Conclusions: The incidence of CD in children appears to be increasing. Granuloma formation and a higher score of the PCDAI are associated with a more severe disease course. Pediatric CD may have a somewhat different clinical presentation from older-onset CD. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2007;34:193⁣199)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Foreign body ingestion is common in children. About 80% of ingested foreign bodies spontaneously pass through gastrointestinal tract. The management of an ingested magnet depends on its size, the same as for other foreign bodies. However, it has been reported that magnetic foreign body ingestion can lead to gastrointestinal fistula. We report here on the case of a 13-month-old boy who ingested two magnet bars that attracted to each other, and they were holding the gastric mucosa. A simple abdomen X-ray revealed that the location of two magnet bars was not changed according to the patient's positional change. The magnet bars were removed with an alligator forcep under gastroduodenal endoscopy. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2006;32:275⁣277)

Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2005;31(5):291-296.   Published online November 30, 2005
AbstractAbstract PDF
Background
/Aims: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a simple, safe and rapid method for the placement of a feeding gastrostomy tube and it is a well- established mean of providing enteral nutrition. Although it is frequently used in adults, there is limited experience for this procedure in children. Methods: Twenty five procedures of PEG in 23 patients were performed in four institutions located in Youngnam province. We retrospectively reviewed our experiences of PEG. Results: Fourteen males and nine females were included and their mean age was 5.7⁑4.1 years. The patients aged 1 to 6 years accounted for about a half the subjects. The underlying diseases of the patients were CNS disorders in all except one who was suffering with a neuromuscular disorder. The main reason for PEG was swallowing difficulty and the associated complications of the patients. Nasogastric tube feeding was the most common method of nutritional support before the procedures. The most common complication of PEG placement was wound infection. The patients' nutritional status after PEG placement was satisfactorily improved. The indwelling time of PEG tube was over 6 months in 2 of 3 patients and the tube was switched for a new one after a year. Removal of the tubes by using percutaneous traction was done in 2 of 3 patients. Conclusions: The PEG is a safe, easy to perform, and reliable technique to support enteral nutrition in children.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding in infant and children is much less common than that in adults. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding in infants and young children is most often acssociated with stress ulcer or erosions, but in older children it may also be caused by duodenal ulcer, esophagitis, and esophageal varices. Because the total blood volume of a child is relatively small and can deplete rapidly, gastrointestinal bleeding is a catastrophic event. However, it is not associated with significant mortality except in those with a severe primary illness. Data on therapeutic endoscopy for pediatric gastrointestinal bleeding are limited to case reports. The hemoclip has recently been added to armamentaria of endoscopic devices. This method has several advantages, including fewer complication and the fact that less expertise is needed to achieve permanent hemostasis. We report a case of successful endoscopic control of a bleeding duodenal ulcer using with a hemoclip in a 22-month-old boy. Endoscopic hemoclipping would be a safe and efficacious treatment for control of bleeding from peptic ulcers in children. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2004;29:80⁣84)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Background
/Aims: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is being used with increasing frequency as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool in children with suspected disorders of the pancreaticobiliary tract. We reviewed ERCPs performed in children and investigated clinical indications and usefulness of ERCP. Methods: A total of 80 ERCPs were performed in 34 patients (age: 17 months∼15 yrs) at Asan Medical Center from 1994 to 2001. Adult side-viewing duodenoscope, Olympus JF or TJF, was used for all procedures. General anesthesia was used in 73% of the patients, whereas intravenous sedation was employed in the remainder. Results: Cannulation was successful in 77 attempts (96%). ERCP was commonly indicated for the evaluation of pancreatic disease (18 cases) such as acute pancreatitis (4), recurrent pancreatitis (4), chronic pancreatitis (9), and non-resolving acute pancreatitis (1). Biliary tract diseases (15 cases) were common bile duct stones (4), choledochal cyst (8), and traumatic or nontraumatic common bile duct stricture (3). Therapeutic ERCP (n=20) included sphincterotomy (55.9%), insertion of stents (12%), and removal of common bile duct stones or pancreatic duct stones with balloon or basket (32%). The complications were developed in 12 out of 80 attempts (15%) and resolved with medical management. Conclusions: ERCP seems to be a useful and relatively safe procedure in the evaluation of pancreaticobiliary disorders in children and also can be used for nonoperative treatment of these diseordrs.

소아 상부 위장관 이물의 내시경적 적출술 - 대구, 경북지역 소아 78예에 대한 고찰 - ( Endoscopic Removal of Foreign Bodies from the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract in Children: Management of 78 Cases in Taegu, Korea )
Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2000;20(1):6-13.   Published online November 30, 1999
AbstractAbstract PDF
Background
/Aims: Foreign body (FB) removal is a common indication of therapeutic endoscopy in children. The trend is becoming wider and more rational in application. The spectrum of upper gastrointestinal FB's in children during a recent 2 year period was reviewed in Taegu, Kyungbook Province in order to obtain a the consensus of recent trend of indications and techniques of endoscopic FB removal in children. Methods: Esophagogastroscopy was performed on 78 children who had been referred to 3 University Hospitals in Taegu for FB ingestion from Oct. 1996 to Sep. 1998. Results: Age between 1∼2 year was the peak age group; 22 cases (28%). Male to female ratio was 1.9:1. Thirty four cases (44%) were in the esophagus, 44 cases (56%) in the stomach. The majority (49%) of the FB's were coins, 26 of 34 esophageal FB's and 12 of 44 gastric FB's. Others were 14 sharp/pointed objects, 12 big/long objects, 7 toxic objects, etc. In 67 children (86%) the FB was successfully removed and spontaneous passage through the pylorus was observed in 9 children. Conclusions: Endoscopic FB removal can be performed safely and effectively in children with minimal or no complications by an experienced endoscopist. Proper arrangement should be conducted with consideration to the property of FB's, expected complication, and the possibility of an emergency situation. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2000;20:6~13)

13세 여아에서 발생한 담관낭종 합병의 담도암 1 예 ( A Case of Bile Duct Cancer Arising in Choledochal Cyst in a 13-Year-Old Girl )
Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2000;21(4):811-814.   Published online November 30, 1999
AbstractAbstract PDF
Choledochal cyst, also referred to as cystic dilatation of the extrahepatic bile duct, is a rare malformation most frequently seen in female. Malignant changes in choledochal cyst have frequently been described, but only one case of malignant change in childhood has been reported till now. Recently, we experienced a case of bile duct cancer arising in choledochal cyst in a 13-year-old girl. She had been complaining of right upper abdominal pain for 15 days. Abdominal CT scan and ERCP showed a cylindrical dilatation of extrahepatic bile duct with irregular cystic wall mass and multiple liver metastasis which was confirmed as adenocarcinoma by ultrasono-guided needle biopsy. Anomalous pancreaticobiliary ductal union was not seen. This patient was the youngest case of bile duct carcinoma arising in choledochal cyst in Korea.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Candida albicans is the most common cause of infectious esophagitis and usually is an opportunistic infection in immunocompromised patients. Dysphagia and odynophagia are the usual presenting complaints and, importantly, oral lesions are absent in 50 percent of patients. The role of gastrointestinal endoscopy in diagnosing fungal infections of the esophagus is primary. It is the most definitive and often the only method of detecting esophageal candidiasis. Accurate endoscopic diagnosis by biopsy or brushing leads to the initiation nf effective therapy. We have experienced a case of esophageal candidiasis in an 11-year-old girl who was immunologically normal and whose main symptoms were epigastric abdominal pain and nausea for 4 months. The endoscopic and pathologic findings of esophageal candidiasis were presented. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 17: 55-58, 1997)

증례 : 식도위장관 ; 철분제 과다복용 환아에서 위내시경을 이용한 구명치료 ( Case Reports : Esophagus , Stomach & Intestine ; Rescue of Child with Accidental Overingestion of Iron Tablets by Gastroscope )
Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 1997;17(6):801-805.   Published online November 30, 1996
AbstractAbstract PDF
Iron overdose is one of the most common, potentially fatal intoxication in children. We rescued a 3-year-old girl who ingested about 20 iron tablets(110 mg/kg of elemental iron) with early endoscopic intervention. The stomach showed diffusc hemorrhagic gastritis with large amount of retained corrosive iron material. Removal of iron tablets was performed successfully by gastroscope with condom attached on its tip and she recovered completely without any sequelae. The severity of the endoscopic findings even in the early stage and the uneventful clinical recovery in our patient strongly support that this approach could be tried before traditional methods. We think that gastroscopy can be both diagnostic and therapeutic tool in acute drug intoxication in children, because of its safety and easy, rapid availability.

소아에서 발생한 조기위암 1예 ( A Case of Early Gastric Cancer in Childhood )
Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 1992;12(2):259-261.   Published online November 30, 1991
AbstractAbstract PDF
The incidence of gastric cancer is high in old age group and low in young age group, extremely rare in child age. So the diagnosis of gastric cancer in young age is often delayed, and this, with other factors such as poorly differentiated histopathologic tendency and rapid growing nature, makes the prognosis poorer than in other age guoup. Therefore it should always be remembered that the young who has gastric symptom may have malignancy in his stomach in spite of the age. We report a case of early gastric cancer in a 16-years old male with the review of the literature.
