  • Title: Ileal atresia associated with a congenital vascular band anomaly: observations on pathogenesis.
    Author: Nayci A, Avlan D, Polat A, Aksoyek S.
    Journal: Pediatr Surg Int; 2003 Dec; 19(11):742-3. PubMed ID: 14704809.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a newborn, who developed intestinal obstruction soon after birth. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a congenital vascular band anomaly extending from the antimesenteric border of the terminal ileum to the gallbladder in association with ileal atresia. Surgical intervention was performed for correction of the disorder. A review of the embryology and congenital vascular bands is presented together with discussion as to possible etiopathogenesis leading to small bowel atresia.
