The literature regarding infantile colic is reviewed. It is characterized by difficulties in definition. Different theories have been implied as to its etiology: behavioral and developmental as well as gastrointestinal causes are considered. The management and treatment based on both theories were revised. Most of them have proven to be effective in many cases. We recognize that future research is needed so that better management and treatment can be designed and prepared for this condition.
