Pediatric Esophagus & Stomach Disorders

A comprehensive fellowship module covering infant regurgitation and pathologic GERD, eosinophilic esophagitis, esophageal motility disorders, Helicobacter pylori infection, peptic ulcer disease, caustic and foreign-body injuries, and the major congenital anomalies of the pediatric esophagus and stomach.

Learning Objectives

Differentiate physiologic infant regurgitation from pathologic GERD using Rome IV criteria and NASPGHAN/ESPGHAN 2018 guidance, and apply a stepwise diagnostic and management algorithm

Apply the correct diagnostic sequence for eosinophilic esophagitis, including exclusion of PPI-responsive esophageal eosinophilia before histologic diagnosis, and select an appropriate elimination-diet or pharmacologic strategy

Interpret basic pediatric high-resolution esophageal manometry findings to distinguish achalasia from other motility disorders

Select appropriate Helicobacter pylori testing strategies and prescribe guideline-concordant eradication regimens

Apply the Zargar classification and evidence-based acute management algorithm for pediatric caustic ingestion, and manage esophageal/gastric foreign bodies including time-critical button-battery emergencies

Recognize the clinical presentation and management principles of congenital esophageal and gastric anomalies and pediatric functional dyspepsia
