TI  - Protein-losing hypertrophic gastropathy: another cause of gastric wall thickening 
      in children.
PG  - 47-9
AB  - Protein-losing hypertrophic gastropathy (PLHG) is an uncommon, self-limited 
      disease in young children that can produce generalized edema, hypoproteinemia, 
      and nonspecific prodromic symptoms. Recently, Helicobacter pylori and 
      cytomegalovirus infections have been reported to be associated with this 
      condition. We present the case of an 18-month-old boy with PLHG and positive 
      detection of H. pylori on fecal culture. Abdominal sonography demonstrated 
      gastric wall thickening with preservation of the mucosal layers. Sonographic 
      findings are useful for suggesting a diagnosis of PLHG and is also an effective, 
      noninvasive technique for follow-up of children with this condition.
