Publication Duodenal Stenosis Caused by Helicobacter Pylori: Mimicker of Chronic Constipation(Nepal Paediatric Society (JNPS), 2017) Taniguchi, Kazuto; Nakashima, Takema; Ichiyama, Yasunobu; Yamamoto, Hirokazu; Uemichi, KazuyasuAbstract: Although the most common causes of childhood chronic constipation are functional, a minority have an organic cause. We report an 11-year-old girl who was diagnosed as chronic constipation, but actually suffered from duodenal stenosis caused by Helicobacter pylori. An enhanced computed tomography was useful for investigation. Duodenal stenosis should be listed as a differential diagnosis for childhood chronic constipation.Publication Tonsillectomy as Treatment for Periodic Fever, Aphthous Stomatitis, Pharyngitis, and Cervical Adenitis Syndrome(Nepal Paediatric Society (JNPS), 2017) Taniguchi, Kazuto; Sakai, Tatsuya; Ichiyama, Yasunobu; Yamamoto, Hirokazu; Uemichi, KazuyasuAbstract: Although the etiology of periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome remain unclear, various treatments have been reported. We here describe two thought-provoking cases. Our experience suggests that tonsillectomy is effective against PFAPA syndrome, and can safely be performed in patients three years and older. We recommend that tonsillectomy be considered as early as possible in patients with PFAPA syndrome.
