Stuart S. Goldwag, MD,* Richard D. Bellah, MD,P Kenneth J. Ward, MD,f and Marvin S. Kogutt, MD* Menetrierâs disease is rare in adults and even more uncommon in children. It is a protein-losing hypertrophic gastropathy which is usually confirmed by an upper gastrointestinal (UGI) series and endoscopic biopsy. We report two pediatric cases in which screening sonographic studies of the upper abdomen detected thickening of gastric mucosal folds which led t o the diagnosis of Menetrierâs disease. CASE REPORTS Case A A 2-year-old black girl presented with a 2-week history of vomiting, intermittent fever, nasal discharge, and poor appetite. Her past medical history was significant for multiple episodes of otitis media. She was afebrile and had normal vital signs. Physical examination revealed a lethargic child with clear nasal discharge, erythematous tympanic membranes bilaterally, but otherwise unremarkable findings. Laboratory findings were significant for mild hypoproteinemia (T.P. 4.7 g/dl; nl 5.5-8.0 g/dl) and hypoalbuminemia (Alb 2.7 g/dl; nl 3.0-5.0 g/dl) and leukocytosis (WBC 26.6: 41S, 6B, 31L, 15M, OE). Urinalysis was normal. Abdominal sonography revealed gastric wall thickening with prominent mucosal folds in the gastric body (Figure 1A). A UGI series was performed which showed large, thickened mucosal folds primarily
