Abstract:
This paper reports a pair of siblings with congenital short-bowel syndrome (CSBS) complicated with intestinal malrotation. Case 1 was born with a birth weight of 2 550 g and a length of 48 cm. On September 10, 2017, emergency Ladd's procedure and appendectomy were performed on the infant 23 days after birth due to intestinal obstruction at the Women and Children's Hospital, School of Medicine, Xiamen University. The small intestine of the infant had a total length of 65 cm. Postoperative enteral and parenteral nutrition supports were provided for six months. Whole exome sequencing revealed a homozygous variant (NM 024769; nucleotide deletion in the exon 3-5) in the CLMP gene (chr11:122953792-122955421), with the parents being the heterozygous carriers but without phenotype. Case 2, the younger sibling of Case 1, was born in the same hospital on March 20, 2020, with a birth weight of 2 932 g and a body length of 49 cm. Prenatal single-gene sequencing on the amniotic fluid identified the same gene variation as his sister's. The baby boy received Ladd's procedure and appendectomy on the second day after birth which found the length of his small intestine was 51 cm. Full enteral nutrition was achieved six months after the operation. Both cases were followed up for 12 months. The body weight and length of Case 1 were both below the first percentile (< P1). The body weight of Case 2 was 8.03 kg ( P3- P5) and the length was 76.0 cm ( P25- P50).
