  • Title: [Menetrier's disease in children: report of 3 cases and review of the literature].
    Author: Kawakami E, da Cruz AS, Patrício FR, Medeiros EH, Wehba J, Fagundes Neto U.
    Journal: Arq Gastroenterol; 1990; 27(1):33-40. PubMed ID: 2241597.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of Ménétrier's disease in childhood are reported and 38 other cases previously described in the literature are reviewed. The disease manifests in children as a protein-losing gastropathy and a characteristic hypertrophic gastric rugae is demonstrated by upper gastrointestinal radiographs or endoscopy. In contrast to the usual chronicity of the disease in adults, the course is usually benign in children and the symptoms resolve spontaneously in weeks or months. The possible etiology and differential diagnosis are discussed. Ménétrier's disease in children may be more common than report.
