“…The results of studies have shown that the most common cause of upper GI bleeding in newborn infants and children younger than 2 years are maternal blood ingestion, and gastritis or stress ulcers, respectively ( 10 , 18 , 19 ). Mallory-Weiss tear was also more prevalent in older children ( 20 , 21 ). But, our findings showed that the most common causes of bleeding in upper GI system are coagulopathy and maternal blood ingestion in newborns, while esophagitis and prolapse gastropathy are the most important etiology of GI bleeding in children younger than 5 years old.…”

BackgroundGastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, which has several clinical manifestation and origins, is known as one of the most life-threatening events in children. Several etiologies have been suggested for GI bleeding.ObjectiveTo determine the most important causes of GI bleeding in children referred to Ghaem Hospital and Dr. Sheikh Hospital, Mashhad, Iran.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, after obtaining written informed consent of their parents, 113 patients aging from newborn infants to 18-year-old children with GI bleeding admitted to Ghaem Hospital and Dr. Sheikh hospital were enrolled in this study from June 2012 to June 2014. After performing routine diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, a checklist containing all necessary information including demographic data, clinical history of patients, endoscopy and pathology findings, clinical and preclinical information were collected. The data were then analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16.ResultsOf a total 113 study children, 61 (54%) were male and 52 (46%) were female. The results of this study showed that the most important causes of bleeding in upper GI among all admitted patients were prolapse gastropathy (18.6%), esophagitis (15.9%) and esophageal varices, gastritis, and coagulopathy (7.1% for each). The main causes of lower GI bleeding were polyp (32.5%), chronic nonspecific colitis (20.7%), and proctitis (18.2%).ConclusionFindings of this study indicated that prolapse gastropathy and esophagitis are more prevalent causes of upper GI bleeding. Furthermore, esophageal varices were more common in children older than 13 years. Polyp, chronic nonspecific colitis and proctitis are the most prevalent causes of lower GI bleeding.

“…Back-Lomaniszyn et al. reported that MWS accounts for 12.8% of pediatric patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding [ 1 ]. One reason for the rarity of this condition is that children rarely consume alcohol, which is known to trigger MWS [ 2 ].…”

“…Mallory–Weiss syndrome (MWS) is a condition, in which a sudden increase in intragastric pressure causes laceration of the mucosa near the esophagogastric junction. It is a rare cause of hematemesis in infancy [ 1 ]. Although it can sometimes cause anemia or even shock because of severe bleeding, no case of infant with MWS complicated with severe aspiration pneumonitis has been reported.…”

A 1-month-old girl presented with hematemesis and dyspnea. A large amount of blood was aspirated through a nasogastric tube, and chest computed tomography showed bilateral centrilobular opacified lesions, which suggested aspiration pneumonitis due to upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Her respiratory condition exacerbated, and we initiated nitric oxide (NO) therapy. Bleeding stopped with conservative treatment. She was weaned off mechanical ventilation and extubated on Day 6 after admission. Afterward, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a longitudinal linear scar indicative of Mallory–Weiss syndrome (MWS). MWS is rarely reported in early infancy since many of the risk factors are absent in infants. Patients with aspiration pneumonitis usually recover respiratory function within 24 h and severe respiratory failure is rare in aspiration pneumonitis. There are no pediatric case reports describing MWS with severe aspiration pneumonitis. Although MWS is a rare cause of neonatal hematemesis, patients can become severely ill and require multidisciplinary treatment.
