متلازمة الأمعاء الهيوجة هي متلازمة معدية معوية تتظاهر بألم باطني مزمن مع تبدل في العادات المعوية بشرط عدم وجود أي سبب عضوي لذلك
Recent studies has proved that high proportion of reflux episodes in Gastro
Esophageal Reflux Disease(GERD) were non acidic ,and could not be detected by classic pH metry alone,
especially less than 2 years, in whom nutrition is mainly depending on
milk .It was too necessarily to improve
a new technique (Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance MII) ,and by this any retrograde flow to
the esophagus can be detected . The aim of this study was to determine whether pH-monitoring alone is
sufficient to diagnose the Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD),and how much the diagnosis was
improved after Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance (MII) has been added to the standard pH catheter
in children less than 2 years.
Reflux Esophagitis was diagnosed in 50 % of Acidic Gastro Esophageal Reflux
Disease cases only.
This study aimed to detect the association between Endoscopic Reflux Esophagitis and acidic
Gastroesophageal Reflux disease.
