The symptoms worsened during last three weeks. The boy complained about colicky abdominal pain. The boy was cachectic, his body mass as well as height were below 3rd percentile. On physical examination his abdomen was distended, but bowel sounds were easily heard. Ultrasound and computed tomography revealed first small intestinal loop distended up to 10 cm on a distance of 15 cm. Sigmoid colon was slightly extended, as well. Blood tests were as follow: Hb = 13.2 g%, Ht = 39%, PTL = 241 000 μl/l, RBC = 4,7 mln/μl, WBC = 6000/μl, CRP < 5 mg/l (010), electrolytes and glucose level within normal limits, AspAt 157 U/l (5-40), Alat 161 U/l (7-56), LDH 2113 U/l (300-620). Total protein level 5.4 g% (6-8), albumin level 3.04 g/dl. The child was operated: laparotomy revealed the first jejunal loop with homogenous blackish discoloration of the surface. Resection of 18 cm long segment of small intestine was done. The material was sent to the histological examination. The boy was born on time with signs of exenteration (evisceration). He was operated in the first day of life. Three weeks later the child was re-operated because of small bowel obstruction; Bishop-Coop fistula was done. Four weeks later intestinal continuity was restored.
