Total lung sequestration in association with oesophageal atresia and multiple tracheo-oesophageal fistulae.

This is a case presentation of a full-term newborn female who vomited her feedings and had a chest x-ray demonstrating opacification of the right hemithorax, coiling of the nasogastric tube in the proximal oesophagus, and air in the gastrointestinal tract. The infant underwent three procedures which included: 1. gastrostomy: 2. a left thoracotomy with division of a double tracheo-oesophageal atresia: 3. division of an oesophagobronchial fistula and right pneumonectomy.

Tubular duplication with autonomous blood supply: resection with preservation of adjacent bowel.

This 10-mo-old patient represents an unusual small bowel duplication in that: (1) the duplication involved almost the entire small intestine; (2) the technetium scan was diagnostic; and (3) the duplication was resected, leaving the majority of normal bowel intact. Bremer, in his original discussion of the embryology of intestinal duplications, hypothesized the situation that was found in this patient, i.e., separate blood supplies, which, at first glance, appear to be contained within a single mesentery. This anatomical arrangement permitted the duplication to be resected, leaving the adherent normal small intestine.

Endorectal "pull-through" without preliminary colostomy in neonates with Hirschsprung's disease.

The diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease in the newborn does not mandate the performance of a preliminary colostomy. Enterocolitis can be adequately and safely treated by a precise regimen of colonic irrigations. The endo-rectal "pull-through" procedure is safe and effective when performed in the neo-natal period. Long-term follow-up is necessary to evaluate possible late complications.

Segmental colonic gangrene: a surgical emergency in the hemolytic-uremic syndrome.

A 2 1/2-year-old girl had rectal bleeding, an abdominal mass, and diffuse peritonitis. A segment of gangrenous colon was removed. Following surgery she developed the hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS), which is characterized by renal failure, hemolytic anemia, and the thrombocytopenia. The intestinal manifestations associated with the HUS are stressed. This case demonstrates that gangrenous bowel can occur in these patients, and that their survival may depend on resectional surgery.

Dual infection of chickens with pox and infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) confirmed with specific pox and ILT DNA dot-blot hybridization assays.

Dual infection with fowl pox (FP) and infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) was diagnosed as the cause of acute mortality in a flock of three age groups of Hy-Line leghorn layers. The affected chickens had not been previously vaccinated against either FP or ILT. The diagnosis was confirmed by virus isolation, histopathology, and the use of specific pox and ILT genomic DNA probes in a dot-blot hybridization assay. FP and ILT vaccinations were recommended to control mortality. The use of FP- and ILT-specific DNA dot-blot hybridization may be used as a routine diagnostic tool to differentiate between the two diseases, especially in atypical cases of either infection or to confirm the existence of the two diseases as a mixed infection in a flock of chickens.
