  • Title: Pathologic childhood aerophagy: an under-diagnosed entity.
    Author: Rosenbach Y, Zahavi I, Nitzan M, Dinari G.
    Journal: Eur J Pediatr; 1988 May; 147(4):422-3. PubMed ID: 3396598.
    Abstract:
    Three children with pathologic childhood aerophagy are described. This entity is characterized by progressive abdominal distension during the day, non-distended abdomen in the morning, and visible air swallowing. The condition is usually self-limited, and treatment is symptomatic and by reassurance. Early recognition and diagnosis of this condition might help avoid unnecessary and expensive diagnostic investigations.
