  • Title: Multiple intestinal atresia with apple peel syndrome: successful treatment by five end-to-end anastomoses, jejunostomy, and transanastomotic silicone stent.
    Author: Federici S, Domenichelli V, Antonellini C, Dòmini R.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2003 Aug; 38(8):1250-2. PubMed ID: 12891506.
    Abstract:
    The association of apple peel bowel with multiple intestinal atresias is a rare event. The authors report a case of a 2.200-g newborn affected by this uncommon condition. The interruptions of small bowel continuity were treated successfully with 5 end-to-end anastomoses and with the construction of 2 ostomies. A gastroduodenal silicone tube (Vygon S.A., Ecouen, France) was used as an intraluminal stent.
