Concurrence of duodenal atresia and gastric duplication cyst is extremely rare entity. We report a 6-day-old female neonate who presented with neonatal intestinal obstruction. X-ray abdomen showed double bubble sign. At laparotomy, a huge cystic structure attached to greater curvature of the stomach along with duodenal atresia of second part of duodenum was found. The cystic structure was excis...

Relationships between the capsule endoscopy Lewis score (LS) and clinical disease activity indices and C-reactive protein (CRP) are controversial in adult patients with Crohn's disease (CD). Also, data on pediatric patients are relatively less. However, correlation between LS and small bowel transit time (SBTT) remains investigational. The aim of the present study was to explore the correlation...

Polysplenia is a presence of two or more spleens in a patient and polysplenia syndrome refers to its association with various organ abnormalities in abdomen and chest. In about 20% cases of polysplenia syndrome situs inversus is present [1]. Polysplenia syndrome in association with situs inversus abdominus and intestinal atresia is rarely reported. We are presenting a case of polysplenia syndro...

Acquired intestinal atresia in non-necrotizing enterocolitis affected patients is very rare. We report a 2 month old male infant who presented with bilious vomiting, abdominal distension and constipation. He was exclusively breast fed, gained weight and was asymptomatic till six weeks of age. Exploratory laparotomy revealed blind-ended, dilated proximal segment and collapsed distal segment of j...

introduction: a study was made conserning 142 patients who were suffering from gastrointestinal lymphoma, were seen at the department of hematology and oncology, esfahan medical school, during the period 1982-2002. method: all patients had laparotomy, and biopsy of the site lesion. histopathological subtypes were done in the international working formulation. stage groupings were done applying ...

BACKGROUND Duodenal atresia is a common cause of intestinal obstruction in neonates. It is associated with other congenital anomalies like Down's syndrome, annular pancreas etc. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of a two days old male baby presented to us with bilious vomiting since birth. It was associated with Down's syndrome, Annular pancreas and Malrotation. CONCLUSION Duodenal atresi...

Over 100 years ago vascular insufficiency was suggested as a cause of intestinal atresia. This remained a popular hypothesis until Tandler (1902) produced his work on the development of the duodenum, showing a stage at which the lumen was obliterated and postulating that arrest of development at this stage and failure of recanalization produced atresia. This theory was applied indiscriminately ...

In order to examine the mechanism of atresia in the small follicles of laying hens, changes of three enzyme activities, acid phosphatase, 3ƒÀ-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3ƒÀ-HSD) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD), during atresia were analyzed histochemically. Acid phosphatase activity in the follicular wall increased along with the tissue degradation in the process of atresia. Hi...
