ERCOLI, Pablo; GARCIA, Belinda; DEL-CAMPO, Enrique e PINILLOS, Sergio. Aerophagia due to abdomino-phrenic dyssynergia in a 2-year-old child. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2018, vol.110, n.5, pp.332-333. ISSN 1130-0108. https://dx.doi.org/10.17235/reed.2018.5444/2017.
We report the case of a previously healthy 2-year-old child who presented with significant abdominal distension. After several interventions that proved ineffective, pathologic aerophagia was eventually diagnosed. In pediatrics, pathologic aerophagia is an uncommon disorder that almost exclusively affects children with an underlying neurological condition. It may lead to multiple diagnostic tests and unnecessary aggressive therapies. A recent case report associated aerophagia with a novel concept of abdomino-phrenic dyssynergia.
