  • Title: Postoperative ileo-ileal intussusception following surgical resection of patent omphalomesenteric duct.
    Author: Yeo DM, Lim GY.
    Journal: J Clin Ultrasound; 2011 Sep; 39(7):422-4. PubMed ID: 21484814.
    Abstract:
    A female neonate with patent omphalomesenteric duct was treated by ductal excision. Six days following surgery, she developed vomiting and abdominal distension. On plain radiographs, distended bowel loops with multiple, air-fluid levels consistent with an intestinal obstruction were evident. Sonography demonstrated an ileo-ileal intussusception. At surgery, a 3-cm, ileo-ileal intussusception was noted proximal to the previous Lembert suture site and was manually reduced. Awareness of the possibility of small-bowel intussusception following surgery was critical to ensuring prompt and successful treatment of this infant.
