Functional intestinal obstruction due to deficiency of argyrophil neurones in the myenteric plexus. Familial syndrome presenting with short small bowel, malrotation, and pyloric hypertrophy.

In 3 infants functional intestinal obstruction, associated with a short small intestine, malrotation, and pyloric hypertrophy, was shown to be due to failure of development of the argyrophil myenteric plexus, with the absence of ongoing peristalsis. 4 infants with similar clinical features have been described previously, and there is evidence for an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance of this syndrome.

[Ileal endometriosis as a cause of intestinal obstruction. Report of two cases].

Endometriosis is a common, chronic, benign, estrogen dependent gynecological disorder associated to pelvic pain and infertility. Its main characteristic is the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. The prevalence of pelvic endometriosis ranges between 6% and 10% women during their reproductive years. Clinical symptoms of pelvic endometriosis are pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dispareunia and infertility. Distal ileum endometriosis is an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction with a frequency of 7% to 23% of all cases with intestinal involvement. We report two patients, 30 and 34 years old, with terminal ileum endometriosis and intestinal obstruction that required surgery and intestinal resection. Both patients are well one year after the operation.

Neonatal intestinal obstruction: reducing short-term complications by surgical refinements.

Over the last ten years advances in neonatal intensive care, such as the advent of parenteral nutrition, have led to a significant decrease in the mortality rates of neonates with intestinal obstruction. Nevertheless, surgical short-term complications associated with the intestinal anastomosis performed, such as stenosis or leakage, and long-term nutritional complications due to extensive resections are still responsible for mortality and for a high morbidity rate. 39 newborns referred to our hospital in the past 3 years for intestinal obstruction were retrospectively evaluated with particular attention to the surgical management, surgical techniques and subsequent complications. Age on admission was from 1 hour to 24 days; weight from 1.4 to 3.8 kg; 41% of newborns had a prenatal diagnosis. 57 surgical procedures were performed: among them 44 intestinal anastomoses. Short-term surgical complications, namely perforation and stenosis, were observed in 18.1% of anastomoses. The complication rate after simple end-to-end anastomosis was as high as 30%. However, certain technical refinements such as tailoring the dilated upper pouch, positioning a transanastomotic feeding tube and an intubated lateral stoma resulted in a much lower complication rate (3.7%). Thus, in our experience these technical refinements are effective in reducing the incidence of short-term surgical complications.
