The association of intestinal duplication and intestinal atresia is very rare. A case of intestinal duplication associated with Type I and Type II intestinal atresias is reported, and the relevant literature pertaining to the causation of these lesions is discussed. To the best of our knowledge, this case seems to be the first report in Korean literatures.

Biliary atresia is a progressive obliterative cholangiopathy, but its actual causes are still unknown. However, a number of factors, such as developmental malformation, viral infection, toxicity of bile constituents and an anatomical abnormality in the hepatobiliary system, have been considered. Herein, two very unusual cases of biliary atresia, associated with ileal atresia, are reported. The pathogenesis of this particular type of biliary atresia is still a matter for debate.

An isolated tubular intestinal loop (ITIL) means an anatomical or vascular communication with rest of the bowel loop and may provide an insight into the pathogenesis of intestinal atresia. We experienced a case of an ITIL identified in omentum of a 4-day-old neonate with type-II intestinal atresia. To our knowledge, this association has never been reported in the English literature. Omental wrapping of the incompletely resorbed ischemic bowel segment may explain this phenomenon in a case of congenital intestinal atresia.

atresia, jejunal atresia, esophageal atresia, and need for parenteral nutrition for a minimum of 3 days at RSUD Dr. Soetomo Surabaya between August 2018 and January 2019. These children were divided into two groups, those who received standard intravenous LE (medium-chain triglyceride [MCT]/long-chain triglyceride [LCT]) and those who received intravenous omega-3-enriched LE. Differences in AST, ALT, and TG levels were measured before surgery and 3 days after the administration of parenteral nutrition.RESULTS: Liver enzyme and TG levels in each group did not differ significantly before versus 3 days after surgery. However, TG levels were significantly lower in the omega-3-enriched intravenous LE group (p=0.041) at 3 days after surgery, and statistically significant difference in changes in TG levels was noted at 3 days after surgery between MCT/LCT intravenous LE group and the omega-3-enriched intravenous LE group (p=0.008).CONCLUSION: The intravenous omega-3-enriched LE had a better TG-lowering effect than the MCT/LCT intravenous LE in children undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.]]>

Short-bowel syndrome is functionally defined as a state of malabsorption following loss of small bowel, which comprises the sequelae of nutrient, fluid, and weight loss. The proximal segment of the bowel of a patient with intestinal atresia is usually grossly distended and atonic. In contrast, distal segment is smaller. For this reason, anastomosis of the proximal and the distal segment is technically difficult and may cause no propulsion even when they are anastomosed. We experienced that continuous drip ileostomy feeding with the secretions from the proximal stoma stimulated the distal bowel to accommodate and resolved many sequelae following loss of small bowel in a patient with short-bowel syndrome due to IIIa ileal atresia.
