  • Title: Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in the pediatric patient.
    Author: Tedesco FJ, Goldstein PD, Gleason WA, Keating JP.
    Journal: Gastroenterology; 1976 Apr; 70(4):492-4. PubMed ID: 1082828.
    Abstract:
    The value of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in adults is well established. This study of 50 children demonstrates that upper gastrointestinal endoscopy can be performed safely and effectively in this age group without general anesthesia. Endoscopy appears more sensitive than radiology in the detection not only of superficial mucosal lesions, but of gastric and duodenal ulcers as well.
