Postoperatively, he developed several episodes of sepsis caused by persistent enterostasis, but was able to be weaned from total parenteral nutrition (TPN) by postoperative day (POD) 106. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The morbidity and mortality of this disease differ significantly from those of isolated intestinal atresias and non-hereditary forms of multiple intestinal atresia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Initial clinical examination was normal but abdominal distension developed during the first day. At laparotomy, prepyloric septal atresia, a distal duodenal membrane, and multiple intestinal atresia were found. The baby died aged 4 days. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

She developed intractable vomiting in the first hours of life. An upper gastrointestinal series and barium enema showed jejunal atresia and rectal atresia. A laparotomy was performed on the fourth day of life. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

After the operation, the patient's stool remained acholic and her jaundice did not resolve. On the 58th day of life, another laparotomy was performed with the presumptive diagnosis of biliary atresia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 2 (2p16). This disorder was first described in 1971. [en.wikipedia.org]

This is characteristic of the hereditary atresias and suggests development of a defect in (re)canalization during embryogenesis. The association with omphalocele indicates a common developmental defect may be present. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
