Abstract

Alimentary tract duplications are rare congenital anomalies with the majority identified in the pediatric age group. However, duplications may be seen in the adult population and require operative excision. A 53-year-old man was seen with vague, nonspecific symptoms and was found to have a complete esophageal and gastric duplication with communication to the normal alimentary tract. Appropriate-for-structure epithelium was noted throughout the length of the duplication.

Enteroclysis of non-neoplastic disorders of the small intestine.

Enteroclysis is now widely used for examining the jejunum and ileum. The technique is ideal for demonstrating the extent and severity of disorders that cause morphological changes to the small intestine. In this review many non-neoplastic small intestinal disorders as demonstrated by enteroclysis are described and illustrated.

Traumatic pharyngo-oesophageal perforation in the newborn: a condition mimicking oesophageal atresia.

Two newborn infants with traumatic perforation of the pharyngo-oesophageal region are presented. This injury was induced by pharyngeal suction catheters and/or vigorous attempts at nasogastric or tracheal intubation during resuscitation of the newborn. The true nature of this condition remained unrecognized and the babies were thus referred with a tentative diagnosis of oesophageal atresia. The perforation itself could be treated successfully without surgery, despite a severe complication in one infant resulting from inadvertent use of barium sulphate contrast medium. Raising awareness of the possibility of this injury should help in avoiding this complication by gentle and skilful action during newborn resuscitation, particularly in the premature infant.
