    Abstract Pancreatic lithiasis, the formation of calcifications in the pancreatic duct, occurs uncommonly in pediatric patients but can occur more frequently with chronic pancreatitis (CP). Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the major causes of pancreatic lithiasis in pediatric patients, with mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene reported in up to 23% of pediatric CP patients. Mutations in the CFTR gene can lead to mild cases of CF, which may delay diagnosis and treatment. In such cases, pancreatitis can be the presenting symptom in children with CF. We report a unique case of a 10-year-old female with previously undiagnosed and untreated CF presenting with abdominal pain, vomiting, and obstructive jaundice. Her pancreatic lithiasis and biliary obstruction were successfully treated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).

    Abstract A 2-year-old male with VACTERL association and asthma presented to the emergency room due to asthma exacerbation. Chest radiography revealed lingular pneumonia and thickening of the left paraspinal line of the gastroesophageal junction. Chest computed tomography confirmed a heterogeneous fluid- and gas-filled structure at the left posterior lateral posterolateral aspect of the esophagus, which was suspected to be an esophageal diverticulum on an upper gastrointestinal series. The esophageal diverticulum was excised via left thoracoscopy, and pathological examination revealed pancreatic tissue. Heterotopic pancreas lacks anatomical, vascular, or ductal continuity with the native pancreas. It is usually asymptomatic, but when discovered, it usually occurs later in life. It has been described in the foregut, but is not as common in the esophagus, especially in the pediatric population. This case report highlights the rare occurrence, and importance of considering, esophageal heterotopic pancreas within an esophageal diverticulum in an asymptomatic patient with VACTERL association.

    Abstract Surgical repair of type C esophageal atresia (EA) with distal tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is complicated by an anastomotic leak in 10%-30% of cases with associated morbidity. A novel procedure in the pediatric population, endoscopic vacuum-assisted closure (EVAC), accelerates the healing of esophageal leaks by using the effects of VAC therapy, including fluid removal and stimulation of granulation tissue formation. We report 2 additional cases of chronic esophageal leak treated with EVAC in EA patients. The first is a patient with a previously repaired type C EA/TEF and left congenital diaphragmatic hernia complicated by an infected diaphragmatic hernia patch erosion into the esophagus and colon. Additionally, we discuss a second case using EVAC for early anastomotic leak following type C EA/TEF repair in a patient who was later found to have a distal congenital esophageal stricture.

    Abstract Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) is an uncommon disease characterized by immune cell-mediated inflammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract resulting in vague abdominal symptoms, most commonly nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. We report the case of a 16-year-old male presenting with a six-week history of progressive pruritus, jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, acholic stools, and dark-colored urine. This patient was diagnosed via endoscopy with biliary obstruction caused by a large, solitary, duodenal ulcer secondary to EGE. This is a severe complication of EGE and to our knowledge, this is the first reported case of biliary obstruction caused by a duodenal ulcer in a pediatric patient with EGE. Additionally, we describe the first pediatric combined percutaneous-endoscopic rendezvous technique after failed therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP) to relieve the biliary obstruction.

    Abstract Purpose: Malnutrition is a significant issue for pediatric patients with cancer. We sought to evaluate the effectiveness and complication rate of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement in pediatric oncology patients.
    Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on 49 pediatric oncology patients undergoing PEG placement at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital between 2000 and 2016. Demographic and clinical characteristics, complications, absolute neutrophil count at time of PEG placement and at time of complications, length of stay, and mortality were identified. Weight-for-age Z-scores were evaluated at time of- and six months post-PEG placement.
    Results: The overall mean weight-for-age Z-score improved by 0.73 (
    Conclusion: Consistent with previous studies, our data suggests a relationship between site complications (superficial wound infection, buried bumper syndrome) and neutropenia. Additionally, PEG placement appears to be an effective modality for improving nutritional status in malnourished pediatric oncology patients. However, larger prospective studies with appropriate controls and adjustment for potential confounders are warranted to confirm these findings.

    Abstract Sharp wave/ripples/high frequency events (HFEs) are transient bursts of depolarization in hippocampal subregions CA3 and CA1 that occur during rest and pauses in behavior. Previous studies have reported that CA1 ripples in aged rats have lower frequency than those detected in young animals. While CA1 ripples are thought to be driven by CA3, HFEs in CA3 have not been examined in aged animals. The current study obtained simultaneous recordings from CA1 and CA3 in young and aged rats to examine sharp wave/ripples/HFEs in relation to age. While CA1 ripple frequency was reduced with age, there were no age differences in the frequency of CA3 HFEs, although power and length were lower in old animals. While there was a proportion of CA1 ripples that co-occurred with a CA3 HFE, none of the age-related differences in CA1 ripples could be explained by alterations in CA3 HFE characteristics. These findings suggest that age differences in CA1 are not due to altered CA3 activity, but instead reflect distinct mechanisms of ripple generation with age.

    Abstract Purpose: Cannabis hyperemesis (CH) is an under-recognized condition in patients with chronic or cyclic vomiting and who regularly use cannabis. Once thought to be rare, it is now increasingly recognized in both adults and children. We report a case series of adolescent patients with CH who presented at a single institution over 10 years.
    Methods: Patients were included if they had a diagnosis code of cannabis-related or cyclic vomiting, experienced the onset of regular vomiting after starting to regularly use cannabis, and if no other diagnosis was found to better explain the presentation. Thirty-four patients aged 13-20 years (median 17 years) met the inclusion criteria.
    Results: The presenting clinical features were broadly similar to adult CH: cyclic nausea and emesis after at least 3 months of regular cannabis use, abdominal pain, change in bowel habit, and symptomatic relief from hot showers or baths. No antiemetic was found to be of particular benefit. Follow-up was recorded in under half of the patients; documentation of drug history was also frequently incomplete. Clinicians should consider CH when assessing any adolescent with cyclic or chronic vomiting.
    Conclusions: A detailed drug history, preferably taken in the absence of parents or other involved adults and corroborated by urine drug screening, is helpful in substantiating the diagnosis. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm the incidence, prevalence, presenting features, and the effectiveness of treatments, including drug counseling and cessation. Based on our findings, we propose pragmatic criteria to aid in the diagnosis of pediatric CH.
