First postnatal care consists of defect coverage, avoidance of fluid and heat loss, fluid administration and gastric decompression. Definitive treatment is achieved by defect reduction and abdominal wall closure. Different techniques and timings are used depending on type and size of defect, the abdominal domain and comorbidities of the child.

During surgery, a volvulus resulting from poor intestinal rotation was found at a distance of 12 cm from the ileocecal valve. Hemodynamic instability and abdominal distension recurred, and another exploratory laparotomy was required to correct new intestinal perforations. Therefore, early diagnosis with surgical correction before a volvulus appears is essential.

ABSTRACT Duplication cysts of small bowel seldom present in newborns and usually represent the development of complications. In utero complications may lead to mesenteric vascular accidents and thus resulting in intestinal atresias. We report three neonates with duplication cyst of small bowel causing localized intestinal volvulus, leading to small bowel intestinal atresia/stenosis. The neonates underwent excision of the duplication cyst and resection anastomosis of the small bowel. Post-operative recovery was uneventful in all three of them. Key words: Atresia; Duplication cyst; Stenosis; Volvulus INTRODUCTION sound of abdomen showed dilated bowel loops. After adequate resuscitation, the patient was operated with Volvulus due to duplication cyst is a rare cause of suspicion of intestinal atresia. At surgery, a 3 cm × neonatal intestinal obstruction [1]. In utero volvulus 5 cm sized non-communicating cyst was encountered due to duplication cyst may also produce intestinal with 3–4 twists causing localized volvulus.

  • Duodenal Stenosis: a Diagnostic Challenge in a Neonate with Poor Weight Gain
    Open Access Case Report DOI: 10.7759/cureus.8559 Duodenal Stenosis: A Diagnostic Challenge in a Neonate With Poor Weight Gain Ma Khin Khin Win 1 , Carole Mensah 1 , Kunal Kaushik 1 , Louisdon Pierre 1 , Adebayo Adeyinka 1 1. Pediatrics, The Brooklyn Hospital Center, Brooklyn, USA Corresponding author: Carole Mensah, [email protected] Abstract Cases of isolated duodenal stenosis in the neonatal period are minimally reported in pediatric literature. Causes of small bowel obstruction such as duodenal atresia or malrotation with midgut volvulus have been well documented and are often diagnosed due to their acute clinical presentation. Duodenal stenosis, however, causes an incomplete intestinal obstruction with a more indolent and varying clinical presentation thus making it a diagnostic challenge. We present a neonate with a unique case of congenital duodenal stenosis. The neonate presented with poor weight gain and frequent "spit-ups" as per the mother at the initial newborn visit. The clinical presentation was masked as the patient was being fed infrequently and with concentrated formula. We postulate that this may be due to the fact that the mother was an adolescent and relatively inexperienced with newborn care. During the hospital course, the patient had recurrent episodes of emesis with notable electrolyte abnormalities including hypochloremia and metabolic alkalosis. Further investigation with an abdominal X-ray showed dilated loops of bowel. Pyloric stenosis was ruled out via abdominal ultrasound. An upper gastrointestinal (GI) series ultimately confirmed a diagnosis of duodenal stenosis and the infant underwent surgical repair with full recovery. Congenital duodenal stenosis may have atypical presentations in neonates requiring pediatricians to have a high index of suspicion for diagnosis and to ensure timely therapy.
