Pediatric Collections: Gastroenterology Cases: Case Reports from Pediatrics in Review

Pediatric Gastroenterology Case Studies is a collection of 20 carefully selected, case-based studies designed to sharpen clinical reasoning and diagnostic skills in the evaluation of pediatric gastrointestinal disorders. Each case presents clinical manifestations, explores the broad differential diagnosis, and concludes with the confirmed diagnosis. Covering conditions ranging from gastrointestinal tumors, cysts, and masses to infections, nutritional/metabolic disorders, genitourinary issues, and abuse, this text prepares clinicians to make timely, evidence-based decisions even in settings without immediate access to subspecialty care.
