2.1 History
A four-year-old Afghan refugee girl without medical or surgical history
was admitted to the pediatric ward with the chief complaint of acute
abdominal pain.
The symptoms started as intermittent abdominal pain (every 60 minutes
with a duration of 20 minutes) in the periumbilical and hypogastric
areas three days ago, accompanied by two times bilious vomiting (last
night and one hour before admission) and one time of currant jelly stool
defecation with no sign of hematochezia. Her complaints were temporarily
relieved by taking anticholinergics and antiemetics as self-treatment.
