Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced small intestinal injuries are serious clinical events and a successful therapeutic strategy is difficult. Regenerating gene (Reg) I protein functions as a regulator of cell proliferation and maintains intercellular integrity in the small intestine. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of Reg I in NSAID-induced small intestinal injuri...

Lymphangioma occur commonly in the neck and axillae of pediatric patients, caused by an obstruction of the lymphatic flow because of congenital lymphatic malformation. However, mesenteric lmphangioma of the small intestine is a rare tumor that is seldom associated with small bowel volvulus, particularly in adult patients. Although rare, mesenteric lymphangioma can cause volvulus and intestinal ...

BACKGROUND Embryologically, duodenal atresia results from inadequate recanalisation and proliferation of gut epithelius in the 6th week of gestation, while apple-pee atresia of small bowel is a consequence of a vascular accident in subsequent embryonic development, and the two are rather rarely manifested as a joint clinical entity. CASE PRESENTATION We present here a 29 week preterm boy admi...

Neonatal intestinal volvulus in the absence of malrotation is a rare occurrence and rarer still is the intestinal volvulus in absence of any other predisposing factors. Primary segmental volvulus in neonates is very rare entity, which can have catastrophic outcome if not intervened at appropriate time. We report two such cases, which were preoperatively diagnosed as ileal atresia and intraopera...
