A unique clinical case of a combination of malformations of the anterior abdominal wall (omphalocele of large size) and malformation of the lymphatic system (congenital chyloperitoneum) is presented. Each of these defects can lead to a fatal outcome, and the combination of them has greatly increased the risk of developing an unfavourable outcome. The use of immunosuppressive therapy with Sirolimus used for the first time during the newborn period made it possible to completely stop the chyloperitoneum. This clinical example shows that in the treatment of surgical patients with multiple congenital malformations, a multidisciplinary approach and observation is necessary for timely response to the patient’s condition.
Acute gastric dilatation is a rare surgical condition in children, which often results from blunt abdominal trauma. This condition is characterized by the gut-brain connection disorder or gastric muscular layer damage, which results in atony. Gradual gastric stretching with fluid contents and gases in the end leads to the development of various types of intestinal obstruction. When conservative measures are not sufficient (in rare cases), it is reasonable to resort to operative intervention. Several cases of such a pathology have been published around the world. This condition has been observed not only at the blunt abdominal trauma, but also at lesions of central and peripheral nervous systems and in patients with anorexia nervosa and bulimia in the event of excessive food consumption. The article presents a clinical case study and a follow-up analysis of a child with posttraumatic acute gastric dilatation. The authors describe clinical manifestations, pathogenesis and diagnostic algorithm, which allowed establishing this rare diagnosis. Along with the conventional drugs and intensive care measures, the treatment involved a complex of mini-invasive endosurgical and endoscopic manipulations, including laparoscopic jejunostomy, which was performed in order to provide long-term enteral feeding. The clinical case study demonstrated that the use of diagnostic laparoscopy helps to establish nature of the gastric damage correctly and formulate the following optimal treatment tactics on the basis of the obtained data.
ВВЕДЕНИЕЧастота встречаемости язвенной болезни желудка и двенадцатиперстной кишки в детской популяции значительно меньше, чем у взрослых; течение заболе-вания менее тяжелое; осложнения, такие как крово-течение, перфорация, пенетрация и другие, случаются относительно редко. Однако, ситуация может меняться при наличии у ребенка какого-либо серьезного фоно-вого заболевания, такого, например, как гемофи-лия. В этом случае риск возникновения осложнений, в частности клинически значимого кровотечения, зна-чительно возрастает [1][2][3].Возможна и другая ситуация, когда именно воз-никновение желудочно-кишечного кровотечения ста-новится первым клиническим симптомом не диагно-стированной ранее гемофилии.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
