The disease affects mainly normal children dealing with stress situations, but approximately a quarter present severe psychiatric and/or neurologic problems. Differential diagnosis primarily involves other gastrointestinal dysfunctional syndromes.</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We describe herein a case of severe pathologic aerophagia in a school-aged mentally impaired child and review the literature on the theme.</p></span><span id="sec0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0060">Case description</span><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">An 11-year-old mentally impaired girl was transferred from another hospital to the Pediatric ward of Antonio Pedro University Hospital, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to be investigated for possible aganglionic megacolon. The girl was blind, presented serious behavior problems and severe developmental delay and was unable to cooperate with anamnesis and physical examination. Her mother recalled a history of abdominal distension only from the last 8 months, unresponsive to repetitive enemas and associated with pain crises that demanded repetitive consultations to Pediatric emergency services. Moderate constipation was noted since the girl was a toddler and dealt with by occasional usage of oral laxatives. Appetite was preserved during the crises and there were no signs of gastric dysfunction, retching or vomiting.</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Her physical examination showed a seriously undernourished prepubertal girl −14.5<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>kg (<5th percentile of World Health Organization growth curve);<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> 102cm (<5th percentile of World Health Organization growth curve)<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a>, with severe diffuse abdominal distension (abdominal circumference 76cm at the level of the umbilicus) (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>). Peristalsis was normal. There were no palpable masses or abdominal pain. Anal and rectal examination demonstrated a normotonic topic anus. The rectum was full of solid feces.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0005"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Neuropsychiatric evaluation confirmed severe developmental delay and disproportionate aggressiveness toward the medical team. Several repetitive stereotyped movements (repetitive biting of the hands, moving the thorax forward and backwards and agitating a chatterbox) were observed. The patient was in chronic use of pericyazine (8<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg in the morning and 10<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg at night) that was gradually withdrawn during admission.</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The child was born prematurely after a twin gestation. She presented congenital cataract and was submitted to a fundoplication and gastrostomy at 3 months old to treat swallowing problems, repetitive aspiration and symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux. After a difficult perinatal period the patient was abandoned by the mother and institutionalized. Her gastrostomy was taken off and she was then orally fed. The girl was adopted at 2-years-old, together with two other neurologically impaired children. The family already had other natural children and the father is wheelchair-bound.</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">An abdominal CT and several abdominal radiographs showed diffuse gas distension of the small bowel and colon (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0010">Fig. 2</a>).</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0010"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Her constipation was controlled with daily enemas for 15 days, after which the girl evacuated spontaneously daily. A rectal biopsy excluded Hirschsprung's disease. Clinical observation demonstrated that her distension was minimal at the moment the child awoke in the morning (mean abdominal circumference of 68cm) and maximal at evening (mean abdominal of circumference 74cm). Audible repetitive and frequent movements of air swallowing were observed. To test the hypothesis of pathologic aerophagia in a patient incapable of burping, her abdominal perimeter was measured (76cm) and a nasogastric catheter was installed and opened for 24<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>h. At the end of the period, her abdominal perimeter was 61cm. A few hours after taking off the catheter her abdominal perimeter reached 78cm.</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Departing from the diagnosis of pathologic aerophagia associated to obsessive–compulsive disorder and developmental delay, treatment with risperidone 1.5mg/day (0.5mg in the morning and 1.0mg at night) for 3 weeks was unsuccessful. The usage of oral carbon was considered unpractical.</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The child was submitted to an endoscopic gastrostomy without complications. The family was taught to maintain the gastrostomy opened and elevated >30cm relative to the stomach as frequently as possible, to allow the elimination of swallowed air, avoid the loss of gastric secretions and at the same time enable normal oral nutrition. This was possible by using an elongating device connected to the gastrostomy tube and fixed to the anterior thoracic wall in a superior direction when the child was sitting or standing, during the day, and the chronic abdominal distension resolved. The child, however, maintained the repetitive swallowing movements.</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">At the moment of this report, the family reports constant drainage of air from the gastrostomy and recurrence of the abdominal distension whenever the gastrostomy stays closed for a long period. Chronic constipation did not recur. The girl stays under psychotherapy treatment and social services supervision.</p></span><span id="sec0015" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0065">Discussion</span><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In children, 70% of the bowel gas comes from swallowed air.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> The radiological expression of aerophagia is the presence of gas throughout the small bowel, which is physiologic in newborns and infants, but limited to specific situations in older children.</p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Rome criteria defined pathological aerophagia as air swallowing causing abdominal distension and/or repetitive flatulence/belching, present for >12 weeks in a year. This standard may be problematic in mentally impaired children presenting constipation and previously submitted to fundoplication, both of which are common in this population. Those patients are frequently unable to burp and rectal fecal masses limit the elimination of flatus. Only our patient and two others reported cases<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0075"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3,4</span></a> have been previously submitted to fundoplications, which may have exaggerated their pathological aerophagia, due to the impossibility of burping and belching. Most patients with pathological aerophagia are school-aged children and adolescents. The disease is rare and chronic: almost half of the patients present symptoms for ≥1 year at the time of diagnosis.</p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Psychiatric diseases attain 1/4 of pathological aerophagia cases, mostly mental retardation, autism and Rett syndrome.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0085"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> Although pathological aerophagia is rare, 8.8% of institutionalized mentally impaired children present aerophagia.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> Pathological aerophagia may represent the more severe spectrum of aerophagia in this specific population and underreporting is possible. There are no data about the incidence of pathological aerophagia in the normal pediatric population. Most children without previous psychiatric diagnoses that present pathological aerophagia are dealing with acute stress situations (e.g. school entrance, birth of siblings, divorce of parents, hospital admission). In those cases pathological aerophagia tends to disappear as the stressful situation resolves, but language and/or behavior problems are common, together with obvious signs of anxiety. In some patients pathological aerophagia is simply substituted by some other expression of anxiety.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a></p><p id="par0130" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Some specialists even associate pathological aerophagia to self-destructing behavior. Mentally impaired children also suffer from anxiety, but its manifestations may be atypical and more difficult to detect and to treat in this population.</p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Pathological aerophagia may complicate with volvulus, intestinal necrosis/perforation and even death.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0075"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3,7,8</span></a> All reported surgical complications attained mentally impaired patients. Van der Kolk et al. describe nine severely retarded institutionalized adults with severe surgical complications (gastric perforation, gastric necrosis and volvulus, one death), which presented pathological aerophagia from childhood. Those authors suggest that untreated pathological aerophagia in neurologically impaired children may persist after maturity and lead to serious complications in the long-term, which may be prevented by the insertion of a gastrostomy.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0105"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a></p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The disease might be caused either by psychogenic myoclonus-like air swallowing movements (as we observed in our index patient) or by repetitive reflex air swallowing movements due to paroxysmal openings of the upper esophageal sphincter in mentally impaired patients.</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Pathological aerophagia patients normally present to the doctor because of severe persistent abdominal distension, typically minimal when the patient awakes in the morning (due to less air swallowing during sleep and elimination of flatus during the night period) and maximal at late evening. Associated abdominal pain is frequent. Belching/burping is also common. Audible air swallowing sounds are pathognomonic of the condition. Associated functional intestinal disorders have been reported, mainly constipation.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> Occasionally there is some degree of respiratory restriction due to extreme abdominal distension. An abdominal radiograph shows gastric and diffuse intestinal distension, including small bowel, without signs of intestinal obstruction. Fluoroscopy may demonstrate the typical swallowing movements and abnormal pharyngoesophageal coordination.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0110"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a></p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The differential diagnosis is with functional gastrointestinal problems (chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction, severe constipation, Hirschsprung's disease), malabsorption syndromes, anatomical intestinal obstruction and tracheoesophageal fistulae. Gas bloat syndrome may be considered in patients who had a previous fundoplication. The diagnosis of pathological aerophagia is rare and depends on clinical awareness. The exclusion of other conditions may demand complex complementary exams and delay treatment. In our case, the diagnosis was based on exclusion of intestinal muscular or neuronal abnormalities by biopsy, persistence of symptoms after control of constipation and presence of large quantities of air in the small intestine, without radiologic signs of intestinal obstruction (which exclude intestinal pseudoobstruction).</p><p id="par0095" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Little information concerning treatment of pathological aerophagia is available, with a very low level of evidence. Various pharmacological treatments have been suggested. Simethicone and anti-spasmodics can be tried, with low effectivity. Oral carbon tablets as air absorbents have been used, but their dosages and efficacy are unclear.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6,11</span></a> In the context of the good results of benzodiazepines to treat myoclonus-like syndromes and the observation that low dose intravenous clonazepan can abolish the pathological swallowing movements in pathological aerophagia patients, Hwang et al. prospectively treated 15 mentally impaired children with pathological aerophagia with a low oral dose of clonazepan (0.025mg/kg/day in two doses, slowly augmented to 0.1mg/kg/day as needed) for 4 months (or for a month after the patient was asymptomatic). The drug was slowly tapered off. No serious side effects were observed. When compared to a control group treated with only reassurance (<span class="elsevierStyleItalic">n</span>=7), 67% of the clonazepan group and 14% of the reassurance group resolved the symptoms (<span class="elsevierStyleItalic">p</span>=0.032), both without recurrence.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0110"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> The effect of clonazepan may be centrally mediated, due to control of anxiety or affect directly the pathological mechanism that triggers the repetitive swallowing movements.</p><p id="par0100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Behavioral/psychological therapy may be tried, but the efficacy is questionable in mentally impaired patients. Reassurance/psychotherapy was efficient in half of the cases treated by Delapetriere et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> In our child, we tried specific pharmacological treatment for obsessive/compulsive disorder without success.</p><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Phonoaudiologic treatment has been successfully tried in 3/13 patients<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> but is not an option in cases of serious psychiatric disease and/or cognitive deficit. In our patient speech therapists judged that reconditioning was not possible.</p><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Decompression with a nasogastric tube can be used in cases of acute distension. Surgical treatments are rarely needed, almost exclusively in mentally impaired patients.
