Background: An atresia is a congenital defect of hollow viscus that results in complete obstruction the lumen. Intestinal one most frequent causes bowel newborn and can occur at any point gastrointestinal tract. This study was undertaken to histomorphological findings intestinal correlate it with different subtypes clinico-radiological feature. Material methods: prospective observational conduc...

BACKGROUND: Serial transverse enteroplasty (STEP) is a novel surgical therapy for short bowel syndrome and is being used with increasing frequency worldwide. Because no single center is likely to obtain sufficient experience for meaningful analysis, we created the International STEP Data Registry to allow for larger, multicenter patient accrual and followup. This report describes patient charac...

The features of fibrocystic disease of the pancreas are well recognized following the description by Andersen in 1938 of three main clinical forms. The first is that of intestinal obstruction in the first few days of life due to meconium ileus. About a fifth of all cases present with failure to pass meconium which is followed by vomiting and abdominal distension. It results from inspissation of...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2015-211052 DESCRIPTION An infant girl was born at term to a mother diagnosed antenatally to have a fetal abdominal cyst and polyhydramnios. At 32 weeks, fetal imaging showed a calcified lesion (4.5×6.2 cm) in the central abdomen. At birth, a calcified cystic lesion sugg...

Abstract Age is a key factor in the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal (GI) pathology children. Imaging crucial range pediatric GI disorders. In term neonates, congenital anomalies tract causing obstruction are at forefront: atresia, intestinal malrotation with or without midgut volvulus, Hirschsprung’s disease, meconium plug syndrome, and ileus. premature neonate, necrotizing enterocol...

Background Gastroschisis occurs in one of 2000 births with survival rates partially contingent on intestinal complications and time to establishing feeding. Enhancements prenatal imaging have given better insight into postnatal outcomes. The goal this study was examine the gastroschisis patient population at a single children's hospital modern era use ultrasound (US) develop new prognostic indi...

Ultrashort bowel syndrome (USBS) is a group of heterogeneous disorders where the length of small bowel is less than 10 cm or 10% of expected for the age. It is caused by massive loss of the gut which in the neonatal period can be a result of vanishing gastroschisis or surgical resection following mid-gut volvulus, jejunoileal atresia and/or extensive necrotising enterocolitis. The exact prevale...
