The aortas in 41 specimeans of aortic atresia (ten with associated mitral atresia) were studied for the presence of coarctation of the aorta. The basic lesion, causing varying degrees of obstruction, was observed in 31 instances (75%), 24 minor, seven with major degrees of obstruction. In half, the aortic lesion lay proximal to the ductus, and in the majority of the remainder, opposite the duct...

In order to examine the mechanism of atresia in the small follicles of laying hens, changes of three enzyme activities, acid phosphatase, 3ƒÀ-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3ƒÀ-HSD) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD), during atresia were analyzed histochemically. Acid phosphatase activity in the follicular wall increased along with the tissue degradation in the process of atresia. Hi...

introduction: jejunoileal atresia (jia) is a common cause of neonatal intestinal obstruction and is a common surgical emergency. the aim of this study was to compare primary anastomosis without resection of the dilated segment with transanastomotic t tube jejunostomy (tatto) versus resection of the dilated segment without t tube as the control group for treatment of patients with jia. material ...

We encountered a rare case of gastroschisis associated with jejunal atresia and colonic atresia. In our case, the jejunal atresia was not discovered for 27 days after the initial abdominal wall closure. The colonic atresia was not discovered for 48 days after initial repair of the gastroschisis secondary to the rarity of the disorder. Both types of atresia were repaired with primary hand-sewn a...

association of vertebral, anal, cardiac, tracheoesophageal, renal and  limb anomalies (vacterl) is rare anomaly with an incidence of 1.6 per 10000 births. this condition is a combination of anomalies recognized  as a hereditary entity with poor prognosis. herein, we report vacterl association presenting with auricle atresia. a male neonate with a birth weight of 2690 grams, head circumference 3...

Anorectal malformation (ARM) is one of the most common congenital anomaly that requires emergency surgery in the neonatal period. ARMs are frequently associated with other life threatening congenital anomalies. Commonly associated anomalies are genito-urinary, cardiovascular, gastro-intestinal, skeletal and spinal. Alimentary tract anomalies are frequently masked by the intestinal obstruction p...
