ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
3. INTRODUCTION
• The main cause of socioeconomic
dehabilitation in leprosy is deformities
• Prevention of impairments and disability
(POID) is integral to the success of
management of leprosy affected persons

4. "Leprosy work is not merely medical relief;
it is transforming frustration of life into
joy of dedication, personal ambition into
selfless service"
Mahatma Gandhi
4/10/2018 4
6. Impairments
• Loss or abnormality of the anatomical or
physiological structure and function.
• They are further classified as
–primary (e.g. facial disfigurement, nerve
and eye damage and personality disorders)
and
–secondary (e.g. ulcers, shortening of fingers
and toes, contractures and bone
destruction).
4/10/2018 6
7. Deformity
- The visible alteration in the form, shape or
appearance of body due to impairment produced
by the disease.
- E.g, loss of eyebrows or clawing of fingers.
Disabilities
– Lack of ability to perform an activity considered
normal for a human being.
– E.g., slipping of pen or objects from hands
4/10/2018 7
8. Handicap
disadvantages that limit or prevent from
fulfilling their normal role in society
Prevention of impairments and disabilities
Interventions that are aimed at preventing the
occurrence of a new disability or deformity
not already present at the time when the
disease is diagnosed
Prevention of worsening of disabilities
Interventions that are aimed at preventing the
worsening of disabilities or deformities
already present when the disease is diagnosed
4/10/2018 8
9. RISK FACTORS FOR DEFORMITIES
• 1) Type of Leprosy- more extensive and highly
bacilliferous types carry a high risk if not
treated early.
• 2) No. of nerve trunk involved- more than
three nerve trunk involvement increases the
risk manifold.
• 3) Attack of reaction and neuritis increases
the risk.
• 4) Duration of active diseases- longer the
disease remains untreated, greater the risk of
disability4/10/2018 9
10. • 5) Sex - less common in females
• 6) Immune status of the body
• 7) Occupation – heavy manual laborers are
more prone
• 8) Attitude of patients
• 9) Treatments – effectiveness of treatments in
preventing occurrences of deformities is still
debated
• 10) Availability of medical care
4/10/2018 10
12. Types of Deformities:-
• Specific Deformities:- arise due to local
infection with M.lepra like loss of eyebrows,
nasal deformities. (face>hands=feet)
• Paralytic Deformities:- result from damage to
motor nerves like claw finger, foot drop, facial
palsy. (hands>feet>face)
• Anesthetic deformities:- results from
insensitivity because of damage to sensory
nerves like ulceration, mutilation.
(feet>hands>face)4/10/2018 12
13. Nerve Involvement
• Nerve damage occurs in two settings-
in skin lesion– small dermal sensory and
autonomic nerve fibres supplying dermal
and subcutaneous structures are damaged.
involving Peripheral nerve trunks– usually
those which are superficial or are in
fibrocasseous tunnels leading to dermato
sensory loss and dysfunction of muscles.
4/10/2018 13
14. • Stages of Nerve involements:-
–1) Parasitization A few leprae found in
nerve
–2) Tissue response
–3 )Clinical involvement Clinically thickened
nerves +/- pain. No NFD
–4 )Nerve damage NFD+, recovery possible
–5) Nerve destruction Irreversible NFD,
severe wasting +
4/10/2018 14
15. NOTE
• Posterior tibial nerve is the most frequently
affected nerve followed by ulnar, median,
lateral popliteal and facial.

2. Exercises: Active and assisted exercises,
passive exercises
3. Splints and splinting:
1) Claw hand
i. Adductor band splint : palsy has just began and little
finger is not able to adduct
ii. Loop splint: mobile finger clawing
iii. Opponens splint : if thumb is paralyzed
iv. Gutter splints : obvious contracture
4/10/2018 29
30. 2) Foot drop
i. Below knee slab of plaster of paris
ii. Y strap with string
iii. Single elastic trap
3) Facial palsy
i. Splinting with hypoallergenic adhesive tape strips so
that lower lid is not sagging due to gravity and angle
of mouth is not deviated.
4) Splinting for nerve pain
i. Joint is immobilized in such a way that nerve is
relaxed
4/10/2018 30
31. 4. Heat therapy
– Heating pads, hydrotherapy, paraffin baths
– Effects: increased collagen extensibility, decreased
joint stiffness, relief of pain and relaxation of
muscle spasm, increased blood flow, resolution of
inflammatory infiltrates, edema and exudates
– Wax bath : part to be treated is covered with
warm molten wax, for treatment of nerve pain
and stiff joints
4/10/2018 31
32. 5. Electrical stimulation
– Low frequency, high wavelengths currents are
used
– Uses: reduction of pain, stimulation of NM
function, stimulate the bone and soft tissue
swelling
– TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve
stimulation) is used
4/10/2018 32
33. Insensitive feet(with intrinsic muscle
paralysis):-
• require a resilient, non collapsing, shock
absorbing insole that will dampen the impact
during walking
• Microcellular rubber is most suitable.
• In certain case where greater reduction of
pressure is required; add metatarsal bar
obliquely or molding the insole so that
pressure can be distributed evenly over entire
plantar surface.
4/10/2018 33
34. Care of Insensitive Hand:-
• daily soaking hands in water for 15 min.
• rubbing palms vigorously, apply liquid parrafin
or vegetable oil
• precaution against burns
• while cooking, use utensils with insulated
handles
• daily inspection of hands
• using bulky bandages in case injury occurs
4/10/2018 34
35. • Prevention of foot deformities:-
–Protective footwear:- Any footwear can
reduce the pressure upto 25%(type
depends on state of foot)
–footwear should have tough outer sole,
–should not rub against toes. Eg using
automobile tyre side pieces.
–Appropriate footwear should have outer
sole of - 15-18mm thick and soft inner sole
18-22mm.
– Iron nails and buckles are to be avoided.•
4/10/2018 35
36. • Orthosis like fixed ankle brace can also
be used that may transfer a part of load
to leg.
• Foot Care Practices:-
–similar to those done for hand soaking,
scrubbing and smearing routinely
–corn and callosities are removed
carefully
–identify ‘safe limits’ of walking
4/10/2018 36
38. MANAGEMENT
Nerve Care Practice
AIM- to prevent permanent damage to nerve
trunks
It involves- (1) Recognizing acute or subacute
“clinical neuritis” and treating it using steroid
or other measures.
(2) Recognizing nerve function defect
and instituting appropriate treatment without
delay.
4/10/2018 38
39. ‘Clinical neuritis’ is diagnosed when a
nerve trunk shows moderate to severe
nerve pain.
It may or may not be associated
with NFD and similarly NFD may or may
not be associated with clinical neuritis
(Quiet Nerve Paralysis)
4/10/2018 39
40. CATEGORIZATION
• A – No clinical neuritis, no NFD
• B - Clinical neuritis+ , no NFD
• C – No clinical neuritis, NFD +
• D – Clinical neuritis + , NFD +
4/10/2018 40
41. Category A patients
• pt is taught how to look for signs and
symptoms of neuritis.
4/10/2018 41
42. Category B patients
• Start Prednisolone 40-80 mg daily 4 wks
,taper by 5mg/wk upto 30mg ,then ,
every2-3 wks
• In BT leprosy cases(neuritis due to RR), if
there is no significant improvement in
the clinical condition within 48-72 hrs,
immediate surgical decompression is
required.
• In BL and LL cases(neuritis due to ENL),
one can wait for six weeks or even longer4/10/2018 42
43. Category C patients
• assume that the nerve trunk has the potential
to recover if NFD is :-
–of recent onset ,< 6 months involvement
–incomplete- some sensibility is there
–if no severe muscle wasting present
• If NFD considered reversible:- prednisolone
30mg 4 wks then tapered off over 30 days.
• If NFD not recent:- prevent secondary
impairment.
4/10/2018 43
44. Category D patients
• Prednisolone 40-80 mg daily 2-3 wks, reduce
to maintenance dose in 3-4wks
• Maintenance dose 30mg daily 8-10 wks
• If no improvement in neuritis within 3-7days,
surgical decompression is required.
• To accelerate resolution of inflammation:
– 1)- splint affected nerve in slightly stretched
position
– 2)-supportive therapy like analgesics
– 3)- short wave or microwave diathermy
4/10/2018 44
45. Nerve abscess
• if nerve shows no NFD: - wait and watch
• drain abscess only if
–risk of sinus formation is there.
–nerve is considered recoverably
damaged
4/10/2018 45
46. Paralytic deformities of hand
• Massage and Exercises for Hands:- Massage
gently, after applying oil, place hand and
gently stroke it with other.
• main types of splints used:
–Adductor Band splint(in splayed fingers)
–Finger Loop Splint(maintain lumbricals in
position and strengthen small muscles of
hand)
–Opponens Loop Splint
–Gutter Splint(in late cases with stiffness)
4/10/2018 46
47. • Corrective Surgery are:-
– Lasso insertion
– Zancolli’s operation augment flexion forces
at MCP jt
–Srinivasan’s operation

4/10/2018 47
48. Foot Problem In Leprosy Patients
• Stages-
–First stage – threatened ulceration(dorsal
puffiness, deep tenderness)
–Second stage – concealed ulceration
(destruction of soft tissue has occurred)
–Third stage – open ulceration(necrosis
blister open and exposed)
4/10/2018 48
49. • Types-
(a)Acute ulcer– frankly infected, purulent,
covered with slough
(b)Chronic ulcer– indolent ulcer with
hyperkeratotic edges, covered with
granulation tissue
(c) Complicating ulcer– infection spread to
deeper structure may lead to muscle
paralysis, gas gangrene, tetanus or
septicemia.
