Abstract

Recurrent Abdominal Pain is a frequent disease entity in school children. It is characterized by at least three attacks of pain, sever enough to affect routine activity and occuring over a period of time longer than 3 months. The cause of the pain is almost psychophysiologic origin (over 95% of all children with recurrent abdominal pain). The frequency of this syndrome is between 10% to 15% in school children. We experienced four cases of Recurrent Abdominal pain with Psychologic problem.
