Abstract:
Short bowel syndrome in children, most commonly results after extensive bowel resection for necrosis of the bowel. It may be caused by several intestinal catastrophes such as volvulus, hernia and necrotizing enterocolitis. The risk factors on short bowel syndrome are the remaining length of the bowel, the age of onset, the absence of the ileo-cecal valve and the time after resection. Macro and micronutritional deficiencies are the most significant complications of short bowel syndrome. We report a 5 year-old girl, who had a strangulated congenital transmesenteric hernia leading to short bowel syndrome accompanied by iron deficiency anemia.
