Gastroesophageal reflux causing stridor.

Abstract

We describe an infant with stridor associated with gastroesophageal reflux (GER). This is the first report in which there is clear documentation by pH probe of a temporal association between individual episodes of GER and stridor. We review the literature and speculate on the relationship between these two phenomena. GER should be considered in patients with stridor.

A complication of the Infusaid pump: duodenal atony reversed by urecholine.

The totally implantable infusion pump (Infusaid pump) for treating metastatic disease to the liver is a new treatment that is gaining widespread acceptance. However, as might be expected for any new major surgical procedure, there are increasing reports of complications. We report a complication in which duodenal atony was caused by the infusion of the chemotherapeutic agent (FUDR) into the stomach and duodenum. The atony was totally reversed by the subcutaneous administration of urecholine.
