Atresia of ileocecal junction, ileocecal valve: Rare variants of bowel atresia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Atresia of ileocecal junction and isolated atresia of ileocecal valve are rare types of intestinal atresia with very few reports in literature. We report two such cases. Radiology showed dilated ileal segment and distal micro colon in both the cases. At laparotomy there was atresia of ileocecal junction in the first case and isolated ileocaecal valve atresia with normal ileocecal junction in the other case. Both the babies were managed by ileocolic resection with an end to end anastomosis. The prognosis of ileocecal atresias is satisfactory.

“Inverse Type” Apple-Peel Syndrome Is Associated with Type III Colonic Atresia in a Neonate with Gastroschisis—A “New” Subtype of Colonic Atresia
The colon is an unusual site of intestinal atresia. Colonic atresia is subdivided into three phenotypes. Type III is the most common phenotype, where the proximal and distal blind sacs are not connected. Here, we report on the presence of colonic atresia with an “inverse apple-peel” appearance in a neonate with gastroschisis. The lack of mesenteric fixation of the entire small intestine, includ...

Atresia of the distal ileum concurrent with ileocaecal valve agenesis is one of the rare types of intestinal atresia with very few reports in the literature. We herein present a case of type II distal ileal atresia, ileocaecal valve agenesis and volvulus of the ileum and the terminal jejunum with a history of depression, anorexia and failure to pass meconium. On necropsy, volvulus of the ileum ...
متن کاملIleocecal Intussusception due to a Lipoma in an Adult
While intestinal tumors are rare, small intestinal lipomas are even more uncommon benign neoplasms. They are usually asymptomatic, but lipomas larger than 2 cm may become symptomatic due to obstruction, bleeding, or intussusception. In this paper, US and CT findings of a lipoma located in the terminal ileum and causing ileocecal intussusception were discussed. We report a case of small bowel li...
متن کاملEndoscopic Diagnosis and Differentiation of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease have significantly increased in recent decades in Korea. Intestinal tuberculosis (ITB) and intestinal Behcet's disease (BD), which should be differentiated from Crohn's disease (CD), are more frequent in Korea than in the West. Thus, the accurate diagnosis of these inflammatory diseases is problematic in Korea and clinicians should fully understand their...

Benign ileocecal valve hypertrophy is a rare cause for intestinal obstruction. We describe a 51-year-old female with clinical and imaging presentation of chronic small-bowel obstruction. The patient was operated on, and a limited thickening of the ileocecal bowel wall causing intestinal obstruction was found. A right hemicolectomy was performed. On microscopic examination, severe fibrosis with ...
