Internal Hernia Masquerading As Necrotizing Enterocolitis

2017

In extremely preterm infants, acute abdominal emergencies are fortunately less common with improving care. Spontaneous intestinal perforation and necrotizing enterocolitis are conditions where emergency surgery is most often needed. Conservative medical management and placement of temporary drain are often used in the initial management. Internal hernia (IH) is an uncommon cause of bowel obstruction in neonates, is difficult to diagnose and unfortunately are found only at autopsy. The presentation in preterm infants, distinction between these conditions, and the need for early diagnosis of IH are discussed.

Needle perforation of the bowel in childhood

2004

Accidental ingestion of foreign bodies occurs frequently in childhood. The majority of them are passed spontaneously, and conservative management generally is recommended for foreign bodies in the stomach and duodenum. However, in some cases, operative intervention should be considered to prevent undesirable complications, such as intestinal perforation. Two cases of intestinal perforation owing to accidental ingestion of a needle are reported. J Pediatr Surg

2017 WSES guidelines for the management of iatrogenic colonoscopy perforation

2017

Abstract Iatrogenic colonoscopy perforation (ICP) is a severe complication that can occur during both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Although 45–60% of ICPs are diagnosed by the endoscopist while performing the colonoscopy, many ICPs are not immediately recognized but are instead suspected on the basis of clinical signs and symptoms that occur after the endoscopic procedure. There are three main therapeutic options for ICPs: endoscopic repair, conservative therapy, and surgery. The therapeutic approach must vary based on the setting of the diagnosis (intra- or post-colonoscopy), the type of ICP, the characteristics and general status of the patient, the operator’s level of experienc…

A Misunderstood intestinal perforation believed acute pancreatitis: A case report

2015

Acute pancreatitis represents one, possible but rare, of the several complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In the case reported, a 31-year-old female patient complained of abdominal pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The clinical picture, the high values of serum amylase, lipase and white blood cell count and the subsequent abdominal computed tomography (CT) led to diagnose an acute biliary pancreatitis. This was pharmacologically treated, but the patient worsened in a few days. A contrastenhanced CT showed the presence of free air and effusion into the peritoneal cavity. The patient was submitted to another intervention, which revealed a 1-cm jejunal perforation. The injured…
