Is preterm delivery indicated in fetuses with gastroschisis and antenatally detected bowel dilation?
INTRODUCTION Due to the controversy surrounding diagnostic ultrasound evaluations and elective preterm delivery of fetuses with gastroschisis, we sought to calculate the predictive value of bowel dilation in fetuses with gastroschisis and evaluate the effect of preterm delivery on neonatal outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ultrasounds and medical records of 103 mother-infant pairs with fetal ga...
متن کاملClosed Gastroschisis with Vanished Small Bowel and Jejunal Atresia

متن کاملThe Role of Appendix in the Management of Biliary Atresia Associated with Bowel Atresia
Biliary atresia is characterized by the progressive obliteration of extra- and intrahepatic biliary duct system leading to the obstruction of bile flow in infancy. The cause(s) of biliary atresia remain unclear and many surgical options for bypassing the atretic segment have been described.1-3 Biliary atresia may be associated with small bowel atresia. The surgical interventions for biliary dr...
متن کاملMeconium dependence of bowel damage in gastroschisis.
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Increasing evidence of physiologic in utero defecation supports the hypothesis that bowel damage in gastroschisis may be meconium dependent. In this study, the author investigated the role of meconium on parameters of bowel damage in a fetal rat model of gastroschisis. METHODS Pregnant rats underwent laparotomy at 18 1/2 days gestational age (GA). There were 4 experimental ...
متن کاملSequestered Bowel In A Atresia
A 3-day-old male baby was diagnosed to have proximal small bowel atresia. At operation type-IIIa jejuno-ileal atresia (JIA) was encountered with a jumbled up sequestered bowel-loop-mass. The jejunum was 10 cm and ileum merely 1 cm. The bowel was sequestered on account of volvulus in-utero. Atresia is derived from Greek words " a " (no) and " tresis " (orifice); and refers to congenital obstruct...
