Acute duodenal ulceration in children
P N G Med J.

Abstract
Seven cases of acute duodenal ulcer in Papua New Guinea children have been treated personally over a period of 14 years. All had bled, six seriously enough to threaten life, while in five cases laparotomy revealed unsuspected perforation. Aspirin and antimalarials may have been causal in two children. In three others there was an associated illness, but no common cause could be found to explain all cases. Operative treatment recommended is suture control of bleeding, plus vagotomy and pyloroplasty as for an adult with similar presentation.
