Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and Celiac disease (CeD) are immune-mediated gastrointestinal diseases with incompletely understood etiology. Both diseases show a multifactorial origin with a complex interplay between genetic, environmental factors, and some components of the commensal microbiota. The coexistence of celiac disease with Crohn’s disease is rarely reported in the literature. Here, we report a case of a 13-year-old Syrian male who presented with a history of abdominal pain, anorexia and pallor. CeD and Crohn’s disease was documented on gastrointestinal endoscopy and histological study. The patient was treated with a gluten-free, low fiber, high caloric diet, and a course of oral corticosteroids with an improvement in growth rate and abdominal pain.

Abdominal distention and constipation in children can be challenging as clinical problems. The number of possible diagnoses is very large and may be related to rare surgical causes. It can be rarely caused by an annular pancreas. Early recognition is essential for preventing delays in management and potential complications. Here we report a case of an incomplete annular pancreas presenting as abdominal distention and constipation in a 1.5-year-old Syrian boy. The diagnosis was made through an abdominal computed tomography scan (CT).

Corrosive substance ingestion is a very serious home accident, mostly common in developing countries. It frequently causes esophageal burns in the acute stage and esophageal stricture, stenosis, and even cancer in the chronic stage. Severe cases of caustic esophagitis may require esophageal replacement. We describe a case of balloon endoscopy dilation in a two-year-old girl with a severe stricture of the esophagus resulting from accidental ingestion of a corrosive substance (strong alkaline liquid) which helped the patient preserve the esophagus and prevent esophageal replacement. We describe the clinical complication and development during the treatment.

Cow’s milk protein intolerance (CMPI) is a common condition that causes gastrointestinal bleeding in the first year of life. It is the most common cause of chronic blood loss and anemia; however, severe massive hematemesis is an uncommon condition. Herein, we present a case of severe massive hematemesis with melena stool in a six-month-old boy with cow’s milk protein intolerance. In this case, we described management used in poor developing countries.
