Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the value of electronic video endoscopy for adults in upper gastrointestinal disease in children. Methods Results of video endoscopy for adults performed on 128 children with abdominal pain, upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, accidental foreign bodies, and esophageal stenosis were analyzed retrospectively. Results The total positive detection rate was 100%. The incidence rates of chronic superficial gastritis and/or duodenitis, peptic ulcer, and foreign bodies were 64.84%, 25.78%, and 8.59%, respectively. Only 1 case of esophageal stenosis was found. Conclusion Video endoscopy for adults, also safe for children, is of significant value in the etiological diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal disease in children.
