Intestinal Atresia*

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.
Intestinal Atresia

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.]]>

The pathogenesis of intestinal atresia has shown well that mesenteric vascular insults during an intrauterine life played an important role, and it has been shown in animal experiments. Intrauterine intussusception was suggested as one of the etiologies that cause jejunoileal atresia. The aims of this study were 1) to see if polypoid lesions in congenital ileal atresia were associated with intrauterine intussusception and 2) to make diagnostic criteria for possible intrauterine intussusception. Intraluminal polypoid lesions were found in three patients with congenital ileal atresia. They were Louw classification type I in two patients, and type II in one patient. Two lesions were composed of intestinal wall layers contiguous with adjacent small bowels, however, atrophic non-viable tubular structure was found in one patient. All of this signifies that they were a remnant of an intrauterine intussusception which had occurred in a different developmental stage. In conclusion, intraluminal polypoid lesion in ileal atresia was suggested to be the remnant structure of intrauterine intussusception. Such instances were highly suggested by the followings: 1) type I or II in Louw classification 2) intraluminal polypoid lesion adjacent to atretic portion, 3) identifiable intestinal wall layers in histologic examination, 4) positive occult blood in meconium.
