  • Title: Congenital segmental dilatation of small intestine with oesophageal atresia and duodenal atresia in a premature infant.
    Author: Ziv Y, Lombrozo R, Mor C, Dintsman M.
    Journal: Z Kinderchir; 1987 Oct; 42(5):317-8. PubMed ID: 3687236.
    Abstract:
    In a premature infant documented to have oesophageal atresia laparotomy revealed the additional findings of segmental dilatation of the small intestine as well as duodenal atresia, the coincidental occurrence of which is extremely rare. Resection of the dilated segment was performed with end-to-end one-layer anastomosis and side-to-side duodeno-duodenostomy and a feeding gastrostomy was created. Three months later end-to-end oesophago-oesophagostomy was successfully performed via a right thoracotomy. During the 8 years since then the child's growth and development have been normal.
