Intrauterine Intussusception Causing Ileal Atresia
نویسنده
چکیده
Intrauterine intussusception (IUI) is the one of the rarest recognized causes of jejuno-ileal atresia (JIA). We report on a 15-day old full-term neonate presenting with features of intestinal obstruction, wherein on exploration, a visible ileo-ileal intussusception resulting in ileal atresia was found. The relevant literature has been reviewed.

Most cases of isolated nonduodenal bowel atresia are thought to be due to ischemic events from hypotension, vascular accident, volvulus, intussusception and cocaine. We present a case of isolated ileal atresia suggested using results of prenatal sonography which showed multiple markedly dilated fluid-filled intestinal loops with changeable shapes and positions secondary to active peristalsis.

متن کاملLaparoscopic-assisted resection of ileal lipoma causing ileo-ileo-colic intussusception.
Adult intussusception is rare, and the majority of cases has an underlying cause that requires surgical resection. We report a case of a 39 yr-old man with ileo-ileo-colic intussusception caused by ileal lipoma that was successfully managed by a laparoscopic-assisted surgical maneuver. Using a three-cannula technique, ileo-colic intussusception was reduced laparoscopically. Then, through a 4-cm...

Inflammatory fibroid polyps are uncommon but well documented solitary polypoid lesions occurring in gastrointestinal tract; most commonly in stomach followed by ileum and rarely in colon, duodenum and oesophagus. Polyps in ileum most commonly present with acute intestinal obstruction as a result of intussusception. We describe one case of inflammatory fibroid polyps of the small intestine causi...
