Herniation of a Meckel’s diverticulum in the Umbilical Cord
نویسندگان
چکیده
A female neonate born at term with a mass at the umbilicus (Fig. 1). Prenatal ultrasound at 22 weeks gestation had noted polyhydramnios, macrosomia, a single umbilical artery and a small ventricular septum defect. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis at 27 weeks gestation did not identify any chromosomal abnormalities. At birth, the umbilical ring seemed intact and there was no real abdominal wall defect. Initially, a manual reduction of the hernia was established, yet it reoccurred almost immediately. Surgical exploration revealed a herniated Meckel’s diverticulum in the umbilical cord.

Congenital herniation of the umbilical cord (CHUC) is a rare anomaly due to incomplete closure of umbilical ring and is different from abdominal wall defects. Intestinal atresias have been reported as a common associated anomaly. We herein present two cases hernia of umbilical cord associated with non-gastrointestinal anomalies.

We report an unusual case of umbilical cord hernia associated with patent vitello-intestinal duct (PVID), and Meckel's diverticulum underwent surgery and discharged with good general condition.

This research was carried out to define the morphological features of Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) induck and to investigate whether the MD resides in a constant position along the intestinal tract. For thispurpose, a total of 30 adult healthy ducks of both sexes, 50-52 weeks of age were used. After dissecting,some morphological factors such as: total intestine length as well as the lengths of th...

Results: During last 11 years, 46 (39 boys and 7 girls) children were treated for symptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum and PVID under 12 years: 23 (50%) were infants, 5 (10.86%) were 1 to 5 years and 18 (39.13%) were 6 to 12 years of age. Majority n=28 (60.86%) presented with intestinal obstruction (including 5 cases of intussusception and 6 cases of PVID), followed by n=6 (13.04%) as perforation ...
متن کاملIntestinal duplication with ectopic gastric mucosa diagnosed by Meckel's diverticulum scan
Gastrointestinal duplications are rare congenital malformations and they may vary greatly in presentation, size, location and symptoms. The presence of ectopic gastric mucosa (EGM) in them is not common and they are difficult to diagnose prior to surgery. We present the case of a child with long intestinal duplication with ectopic gastric mucosa who presented with just severe anaemia and delaye...
