[Rare cause of acute pancreatitis: phytobezoar in an intraluminal diverticulum in type I duodenal atresia, intestinal malrotation and rudimentary pancreas anulare].

A 28-year-old woman was hospitalized because of the third episode of acute pancreatitis. No hint for an extrinsic cause was evident. Under conservative treatment pancreatitis and signs of intestinal obstruction were persisting. Imaging procedures showed an undefinite mass in the neighbourhood of the pancreatic caput. Endoscopy revealed a phytobezoar in a wind sock web, a special form of congenital duodenal atresia. Obstructing the papilla of Vater the bezoar had caused acute pancreatitis. After endoscopical removal the symptoms of pancreatitis disappeared immediately. Web excision and duodenoduodenostomy were performed. At operation further anomalies of the gastrointestinal tract frequently associated with duodenenal atresia were found.

A lesson in intestinal atresias.

A girl with an atresia of the distal ileum and another in the sigmoid colon is reported, as are the inadequacies in her management. The association of an ileal atresia with a separate colonic atresia does not seem to have been previously reported.

Intestinal atresia: an end-to-end linear anastomotic technique.

In a series of 19 neonates with small-bowel atresia, 16 were treated by end-to-end linear anastomosis (ELA) without resection and 3 by resection anastomosis (RA). Seven atresias were jejunal, 11 were ileal, and 1 jejunoileal; 3 cases were type II, 12 type IIIa, 3 type IIIb, and 1 type IV. There were 4 deaths, 1 after ELA and 3 after RA. The overall mortality decreased from 68 to 20.80% and for linear anastomosis to 6.25% presumably, because the intestinal contents are propelled along the lumen in a linear fashion and not at an angle as in end-to-back anastomosis, avoiding shearing of the suture line. The additional plicating sutures reduce the radius and increase the propelling force. We recommend this technique because it is based on sound principles of physics and preserves the entire available length of intestine.
