Esophago-gastric motility and nutritional management in a child with ATR-X syndrome.
[alpha-thalassemia]
X-
linked
alpha
thalassemia
mental
retardation
(
ATR
-X
)
syndrome
is
an
X-
linked
recessive
disorder
that
often
involves
gastrointestinal
symptoms
.
Aspiration
pneumonia
related
to
gastroesophageal
reflux
has
been
reported
as
the
major
cause
of
death
,
but
gastrointestinal
function
has
not
been
well
investigated
.
The
present
report
describes
a
child
with
ATR-X
syndrome
who
suffered
from
periodical
episodes
of
refractory
vomiting
.
We
investigated
the
function
of
upper
alimentary
tract
and
found
that
esophago-
gastric
dysmotility
and
severe
gastric
volvulus
were
the
major
causes
of
gastrointestinal
symptoms
.
This
child
was
surgically
treated
with
anterior
gastropexy
and
jejunal
alimentation
through
gastrostomy
,
and
the
symptoms
were
relieved
with
good
weight
gain
.
This
report
may
provide
insight
into
the
gastrointestinal
function
and
nutritional
management
in
children
with
ATR-X
syndrome
.
