We present the case of a newborn who, hours after childbirth, presents data on sepsis and clinical signs of complete intestinal obstruction: biliary drainage through the orogastric tube, peristalsis present and decreased fecal output, it should be mentioned [go.gale.com]

In some individuals, the presentation is very non-specific, with episodes of abdominal pain, weight loss, melena, or even chronic pancreatitis 5. [radiopaedia.org]

It is responsible for 1–1.5% of all adult intestinal obstructions and 25–40% of all volvulus involving the colon [1] and is one of the modes of presentation of intestinal malrotation and abnormal fixation that commonly presents in early childhood. [karger.com]

• Rhinitis

  An 18-year-old girl with a history of migraine headaches, allergic rhinitis, ovarian cysts, and multiple food allergies was referred to the ED with complaints of poorly localized abdominal pain and nausea without vomiting. [westjem.com]

• Decreased Bowel Sounds

  She had presented to her primary care physician (PCP) earlier in the day with similar complaints and was noted to have decreased bowel sounds and diffuse abdominal tenderness to palpation. [westjem.com]

The diagnostic preoperative workup should include a plain abdominal radiograph, upper and/or lower gastrointestinal contrast studies, and ultrasonography (1). [journals.lww.com]

• Colonic Stricture

  CMV infection should always be excluded in full-term infants presenting with colonic stricture or malrotation. [ijponline.biomedcentral.com]

  Tuberculosis-associated left colon stricture has also been reported. [13] Patients who undergo bowel resection for any reason and have a segment of intestine removed and joined by anastomosis may develop stricture at the anastomotic site as a consequence [emedicine.medscape.com]

At present, there is no consensus on the treatment of abdominal cocoon disease. [bmcsurg.biomedcentral.com]

Surgical management is the definitive treatment and leads to resolution of abdominal symptoms. [westjem.com]

Volvulus is therefore an emergency that requires immediate surgical treatment. Malrotation of the bowel during fetal development may predispose infants to volvulus, although volvulus can occur in the absence of malrotation. [hopkinsmedicine.org]

Treatment and prognosis depends largely upon the viability of the dilated cecum. Surgery is the only definite treatment of the cecal volvulus. Case Report A 23-year-old male with known anorectal malformation underwent PCNL for left pelvic calculus. [karger.com]

Treatment [ edit ] Early treatment includes removing fluids from the stomach via a nasogastric tube, and providing fluids intravenously. [1] The definitive treatment for duodenal atresia is surgery (duodenoduodenostomy), which may be performed openly [en.wikipedia.org]

Abstract With advances in surgery and the use of the antibiotics, the prognosis of congenital obstruction of the duodenum has become much more favorable. [pubs.rsna.org]

Prognosis Survival is primarily dependent on gestation at delivery and the presence of other anomalies. [sonoworld.com]

It is key to improve the prognosis and reduce complications. Keywords: acute abdomen, intestinal malrotation, volvulus. Get Full Access Gale offers a variety of resources for education, lifelong learning, and academic research. [go.gale.com]

Risk factors — Factors that increase the risk for the most common etiologies of small bowel obstruction are given in the table ( table 1 ). (See 'Specific etiologies' below.) [uptodate.com]

Etiology Multiple theories regarding the etiology of jejunoileal atresia have been studied in many animal models (eg, puppies, ewes, rabbits, and chick embryos). [22, 23, 24, 25, 26] Murine studies suggest that some forms of atresia may be hereditary [emedicine.medscape.com]

Etiology Duodenal atresia is a sporadic abnormality, although, in some cases, there is an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. [sonoworld.com]
