Stomach pain in 14 yr old - Liver Hemangioma
by Sheris23, Oct 26, 2009 06:15PM
My 14 yr old daughter has been having severe stomach pains starting in the left upper quadrant and moving across. She is naseaus, feel full after eating very little, pain right after eating, has headaches after exercise, and her taste has been off. An ultrasound was done and all was found was a liver hemangioma. She has been on acid blockers for the last week but they aren't really working. The doctor says it wouldn't be the hemangioma causing pain. Any help is appreciated. I am afraid the doctors will just try to send us on our way with no answers to this. The nearest pediatric Gastroenterologist is 120 miles away.

Have they checked pancreatic function? Have they checked her fasting gastrin blood level before they put her on the acid blocking medications? How is her taste off? Have they suspected gastritis and suggested a 72 hour clear liquid diet to see if it would calm down?
I once had a liver hemiangioma that later didn't show in a subsequent ultrasound. The only cause I thought later that might have been was I was taking generic serzone (since they took the name brand off the market for liver damage), but I'm not sure if the medicine I tooke was why it happened. It was said to be unusual to have one on my liver by a doctor, but not harmful. It is a collection of blood vessels.
