Abstract

Colicum infantum which is described by Wessel et al nearly 60 years ago is a frequently encountered complaint which can be seen in infants within the first three month safter delivery and is characterized by excessive uneasiness and crying episodes which may continue more than 3 weeks and at least 3 days in a week. Although many studies towards etiology of infantil colic, it is not exactly explained. Many risk factors are mentioned but no one explore definitively. Also, there is no effective treatment for colicum infantum, yet. We review the colicum infantum insight to current literature.

Abstract

Öz

Halen gizemini koruyan, ayırıcı tanısına giren birçok hastalık nedeni ile aileyi ve hekimi çoğu zaman sıkıntıya sokabilen, maddi ve manevi birçok kayıplara neden olan infantil kolik, yaşamın ilk üç ayında görülen, en az üç hafta süren ve haftada en az üçgün ortaya çıkan ağlama epizotları şeklinde yaklaşık 60 yıl önce Wessel tarafından tanımlanmıştır. Etiyolojisi halen tam olarak bilinmemektedir. Birçok risk faktörü öne sürülse de kesin olarak tek bir neden suçlanamamaktadır. Tedavi olarak ta etkili ve güvenli diyebileceğimiz kesin bir yöntem yoktur. Bu yazıda amacımız güncel literatür bilgileri ışığında bebeklik döneminde sık görülen bu rahatsızlığı irdelemektir.
