Secondary intestinal obstruction due to low-grade mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the appendix.

Appendiceal mucoceles are a group of lesions in which the appendiceal lumen becomes distended with mucus. They may be associated with an unusual form of gelatinous ascites termed pseudomyxoma peritonei. We report herein a 77-year-old male patient with appendiceal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma and pseudomyxoma peritonei, whose initial symptoms were abdominal pain and distension and intestinal obstruction. He had a history of explorative laparotomy for an abdominal mass and ascites 14 months ago at another center. He was suffering from abdominal pain and intestinal obstruction on admission to the emergency service. We performed right colectomy and total resection of the mass which originated from the appendix. Pathologic examination of the specimen showed low-grade mucinous cystadenocarcinoma and pseudomyxoma peritonei. The postoperative period was uneventful.

Intestinal obstruction in asplenia syndrome: report of three cases.

Congenital absence of spleen is rare. When it does occur, it may be associated with a characteristic group of anomalies of the cardiovascular and gastrointestinal system. Fifteen neonates of asplenia syndrome were seen in our hospital from April 1989 to November 1992, three of these fifteen cases were associated with intestinal obstruction and malrotation. All of the three neonates were noted to have cyanosis, heart murmur and abdominal distention soon after birth. Absence of spleen, heterotaxia and complex cardiac malformations were detected by sonography. Howell-Jolly bodies were found in their peripheral blood smear. The barium examinations of gastrointestinal tract showed intestinal obstruction and malrotation. All of them died in the first month of life. One of them received an autopsy.

[Treatment of intestinal obstruction after surgery (author's transl)].

A revision of the children which during the last five years have undergone abdominal surgery is presented. 2% showed postoperative intestinal obstruction due to adhesions. Intestinal plication has been performed in children with a great amount of adhesions. A comparison is made of the Childs-Phillips and the Noble plication operation. Results in both cases showed to be good. The greater facility and the shorter duration of the surgery in the Childs-Phillips plication operation make this last technic more advisable.

Erroneous diagnosis of distal intestinal obstruction syndrome in cystic fibrosis: clinical impact of abdominal ultrasonography.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the use of abdominal ultrasonography in the differential diagnosis of distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS). DESIGN: Four case reports. SETTING: Adult cystic fibrosis centre (140 patients). PATIENTS: Four cystic fibrosis patients presenting over 18 months with clinical symptoms suggestive of a DIOS which could not be substantiated. OUTCOME: In all cases abdominal ultrasound was valuable in making a diagnosis. CONCLUSION: Abdominal ultrasound is a useful diagnostic tool for differentiating a DIOS from other abdominal conditions.

Small intestinal obstruction by remnants of the omphalomesenteric duct: findings on contrast enema.

OBJECTIVE: We reviewed the contrast enema examinations and medical records of six patients with small intestinal obstruction due to omphalomesenteric duct remnant to evaluate for characteristic imaging findings. RESULTS: In five out of the six patients the point of obstruction was demonstrated on the enema; in three patients, the characteristic "beak" of a volvulus was seen, either in the terminal ileum or cecum. In three patients, there was medial deviation of the cecum. CONCLUSION: The characteristic radiographic features of volvulus at the cecum or terminal ileum and medial deviation of the cecum should suggest persistence of an omphalomesenteric duct remnant as the etiology of obstruction in a child less than 2 years of age. The appearance of omphalomesenteric duct remnant obstruction on enema examination, though not specific, is characteristic and should be familiar to pediatric radiologists.
