Diarrhea - Case 17-1: 2-Month-Old Boy: IV. Clinical Presentation
(Pediatric Complaints and Diagnostic Dilemmas)

An inguinal hernia usually manifests as an asymptomatic swelling in the scrotal or labial area that increases in size with any increase in intraabdominal pressure, as occurs with crying or straining. Reducible hernias disappear spontaneously or with minimal pressure. An incarcerated hernia develops when a loop of bowel becomes trapped, and it is accompanied by severe pain and signs of bowel obstruction, such as bilious emesis. Strangulation of the herniated loop of bowel occurs when the blood supply to the bowel is compromised and may develop within 2 hours after incarceration. Urgent medical attention is required in cases of incarceration, and emergency surgical intervention may be necessary in cases of strangulation.

Diarrhea - Case 17-4: 15-Month-Old Boy: IV. Clinical Presentation
(Pediatric Complaints and Diagnostic Dilemmas)

Most pediatric patients with neuroblastoma are diagnosed by 5 years of age, and most tumors are intraabdominal in location. However, patients older than 1 year of age have a higher incidence of intrathoracic and cervical tumors, compared with younger patients. Among children older than 1 year of age, 75% present with a disseminated, advanced stage of disease and account for a significant proportion of neuroblastoma-associated mortality. Infants younger than 1 year of age tend to present with lower-stage disease and have much higher cure rates. Some of the tumors in this latter group even undergo spontaneous regression. One percent of patients have no detectable primary tumor. In 35% of children, neuroblastoma metastases occur to the regional lymph nodes, qualifying as disseminated disease. Hematogenous spread to bone, bone marrow, liver, and skin also occurs. Late metastases are seen in the brain and lung. Patients may present with a large abdominal mass or with respiratory distress secondary to the intraabdominal mass. Intrathoracic tumors are often incidentally found. Opsoclonus-myoclonus is an well-defined presenting syndrome for neuroblastoma. Presentation as severe secretory diarrhea, as in this case, is known as Verner-Morrison syndrome.

Diarrhea: Diarrhea - signs & symptoms
(The 5-Minute Pediatric Consult)

General goal: It is important to determine the type of diarrhea (osmotic vs. secretory) as this will alter your diagnostic and therapeutic plan.

  • Phase 1, secretory diarrhea: Absorption of intestinal fluid and electrolytes is accomplished through multiple cellular pumps transporting sodium, glucose, and amino acids. Factors that interrupt these pumps (e.g., cholera toxin, prostaglandin E, vasoactive intestinal peptide, secretin, acetylcholine) can cause a severe active isotonic secretory state manifested by profuse diarrhea, dehydration, and acidosis.
  • Phase 2, osmotic diarrhea: In general, the solute composition of intestinal fluid is similar to that of plasma. Osmotic diarrhea occurs when poorly absorbed or nonabsorbable solute is present in the intestinal lumen. This can occur with the ingestion of nonabsorbable sugars (e.g., sorbitol), cathartics (e.g., magnesium citrate), carbohydrate malabsorption secondary to mucosal damage (e.g., lactose), maldigestion (e.g., pancreatic dysfunction), rapid transit of intestinal fluid, or with a rare congenital transport defect.
