Re: Sophie Johnson (Age:10 years old female)

Dear Colleague,

Sophie Johnson, a 10-year-old female, was seen in the Emergency Department today for episodic abdominal pain. She reported recurrent episodes of cramping abdominal pain over the last 6 months which suddenly got worse a day ago and hence presentation to emergency department. There are no associated vomiting, diarrhoea, or fever. On review, she was otherwise well, with no signs of acute illness.

Investigations:

Urinalysis: Normal

Blood Tests (Including, thyroid function test, FBC, U+ E’s, LFTs, Ferritin, Folate, CRP ) : Normal

Bed side ultrasound of abdomen: Normal 

Based on her clinical presentation and the normal findings of the investigations, we suspect abdominal migraine as the most likely diagnosis. 

Recommendations:
If the symptoms reoccur, we recommend that Sophie follow up with her GP for further evaluation and management. Should her symptoms change in nature or become more severe, or if any other concerning symptoms arise, we advise immediate re-assessment.

Kind regards,
Dr Chika Cubana, MBBS FRCEM
ST6 Emergency Medicine Specialist Registrar
