Abstract
|
|
|
|
Owing to the low incidence of peptic ulcers in children, the early symptoms of the disease are sometimes overlooked, which result in grave complications such as a perforation or hemorrhagic shock. Recently, as a result of the increasing use of endoscopy, the incidence of peptic ulcers in children has increased. This means that the disease might have been underdiagnosed in the past. Although some cases of peptic ulcer perforation or bleeding in children were reported, a case of a peptic ulcer combined with a perforation and hemorrhage has not been reported. We experienced a 19 months old patient in shock with a perforated duodenal ulcer and hemorrhage.
