Post-necrotising enterocolitis pseudo-obstruction treated with Cisapride.

We report on one patient in whom segmental colic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (IPO) following the surgical treatment of a grade III necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) was responsible for a severe failure to thrive. Further intestinal resection in an already short gut was avoided by using Cisapride, a new intestinal prokinetic agent (1 mg/kg/d in 4 doses, orally), which dramatically improved the symptoms and allowed weight gain and intestinal adaptation. After 6 months, Cisapride was withdrawn. IPO did not recur after 2 years of follow-up, although proximal distention persisted.

Gallbladder volvulus: a case report.

Gallbladder volvulus, a rare disease generally affecting older aged women, is generally due to an abnormal anatomical fixation of the gallbladder. As clinical and radiological signs are poor the diagnosis is generally made at laparotomy. The prognosis is excellent when early surgical treatment is performed.
