Abstract

Background: PEPTIC ULCER disease is one of the most common GI disorders. Perforation has the highest mortality rate of any complication of ulcer disease, while early diagnosis and emergency treatment save patient life.Case presentation: This paper reports an ADOLESCENT boy admitted to the Ziaeian University Hospital. He suffered from severe abdominal pain with dyspnea had been started since past three hours. Periumbilical pain started from past 2-3 days, gradually localized to the right lower quadrant. He had anorexia without nausea and vomiting. He was tachycardic and tachypneic, but he did not have fever. On physical examination, bowel sound was hypoactive, there was generalize tenderness, guarding and rebound tender-ness focused in the right lower quadrant and suprapubic region. Laboratory finding indicated leukocytosis. Chest X-ray showed free air under diaphragm. Once the diagno-sis has been made, the patient was given analgesia and antibiotics, resuscitated with isotonic fluid, and taken to the operating room. Laparotomy was implemented through a midline incision. There was bile secretion in the peritoneal cavity. Appendix was inflamated. Cecum and ileum were normal. A small perforation, 4mm in size was detected in first portion of duodenum. Appendectomy and omental patch repair were done. Ten days later, the patient was discharged in a good state. Serologic test for helicobacter pylori was negative.Conclusion: Stomach and duodenal perforation should be considered in patients without PEPTIC ULCER disease, especially in children and ADOLESCENTs with sudden and severe abdominal pain who are admitted to the hospital for other diseases. Because some patients present with PEPTIC ULCER complications that are seemingly exacerbated by stressful life events.
