A case report on tubular duplication of cervical esophagus
KAUMS Journal, 2011Co-Authors: Masood Nazem, M. Eidy, Abdilhamid Amoei, Mehrdad Hossein PourAbstract:Background: Foregut duplication is commonly found in the posterior mediastinum. About 10-20% of these anomalies are associated with esophageal duplication. It can occur in all parts of esophagus. Although the duplication of cervical esophagus has been previously reported, a majority of it was found in the thoracic oesophagus. Infant esophageal duplication is usually associated to respiratory distress or asymptomatic thoracic mass, casually detected in x-ray. Case Report: In this report the case was a 7 months old infant (7.5 kg) with the chief compliant of respiratory distress, fever and Nutritional Intolerance. Results: Physical examination of the case showed dehydration, stridor, tachypnea, intercostal retraction and neck stiffness. Plain chest radiogram showed a dual cystic mass in the distal neck region. Neck and chest CT- scan showed cervical cystic lesion disseminated to the posterior mediastinum, probably propagated to the respiratory system. For treatment, cystic lesion attached to the esophagus was partially resected, esophagus was repaired and the remaining mucosa of the cyst was removed, then gastrostomy tube was inserted. Conclusion: Although the cervical esophageal duplication of cysts are rare in infant respiratory distress, they must be considered as one of differential diagnoses of the cervical masses.

Duplication of cervical oesophagus: A case report and review of literatures
African Journal of Paediatric Surgery, 2010Co-Authors: Masood Nazem, Amouee, M. Eidy, I. A. Khan, Ha JavedAbstract:Foregut duplication is commonly found in the posterior mediastinum. 10-20% of these anomalies are associated with oesophageal duplication. It can occur in all parts of oesophageal length. Although duplication of cervical oesophagus has been previously reported, but a majority of them were found in thoracic oesophagus. Infants with oesophageal duplication usually manifested by respiratory distress or asymptomatic thoracic mass, casually, detected in X-ray. A 7-month-old infant weighing about 7.5 kg, with the signboard of respiratory distress, fever and Nutritional Intolerance was admitted to our hospital. Physical examination showed dehydration, stridor, tachypnoea, intercostal retraction and neck stiffness. Plain chest radiogram showed dubious cystic mass in the distal neck. Cervical and chest computed tomography scan showed neck cystic lesion disseminated to posterior mediastinum, probably propagated to the respiratory system. Cystic lesion connected to oesophagus was partially resected, oesophagus was repaired and remaining mucous of a cyst was removed, then gastrostomy tube was applied. Although cervical oesophageal duplication cysts are rare, but they must be considered as one of the differential diagnoses of cervical mass with respiratory distress in infants.

Evaluation der klinisch angewandten Kinesiologie bei Nahrungsmittel-Unverträglichkeiten im Kindesalter
Complementary Medicine Research, 2001Co-Authors: R. Pothmann, S. Von Frankenberg, C. Hoicke, H. Weingarten, Rainer LüdtkeAbstract:Evaluation of Applied Kinesiology in Nutritional Intolerance of Childhood Background: Because Nutritional Intolerances generally are difficult to be diagnosed, Applied Kinesiology (AK) often is discussed as an alternative in this field. Aim: The uncertain scientific situation makes it necessary to assess the diagnostic value of AK. The method was compared with established laboratory tests such as RAST, lactose breath hydrogen test and a specific IgG test (Cytolisa). Methods: 315 children and adolescents, 0–17 years old, with different chronic diseases such as headache, abdominal pain, chronic eczema, hyperactivity, and bronchial asthma were studied by means of AK for 2 years. Results: We found a moderate test-retest reliability (intraclass-kappa 0.62) but no inter-tester reliability (intraclass-kappa –0.01). Moreover, there was no statistically significant agreement with either RAST and Cytolisa (sensitivity 73.6%, specificity 45.2%) or lactose breath hydrogen test (sensitivity 77.1%, specificity 43.2%). Conclusions: In general, AK cannot be recommended for diagnosing Nutritional Intolerance. However, due to its high sensitivity, it could be a valuable tool to give some preliminary results.
