Gohary’s disease
Gohary’s disease is a new phenomenon that has not been described before. It depicts a group of children, who present
to emergency department, with severe agonizing abdominal pain. The pain tends to start and ends abruptly, without
predisposing factor and recurs after minutes or hours. Ultrasonography revealed a mesas at right iliac fossa, which is usually
diagnosed as intussusception. The underlying cause of such phenomenon is the fecal impaction of stool at terminal ileum
which act as intermittent intestinal obstruction. We have encountered 19 cases over the last 5 years, their age varied from
9 months to 8 years with the majority under the age of 2 years. The cadinal symptoms and signs include severe abdominal
pain that warrants urgent attention, empty rectum on examination and ultrasound diagnosis of intussusception. All of these
cases were managed by fleet enemas with immediate response. Awareness of this condition will help to avoid unnecessary
investigation and unjustified exploration.
