Gastric Mucosal Viability Assessment Using 99mTcO4 in a Case of Pure Esophageal Atresia After Isoperistaltic Gastric Tube Replacement

Gastric surface mucosal cells are responsible for the uptake and secretion of 99mTcO4, a feature that has been used in imaging heterotopic gastric mucosa. We used the same principle to look for gastric mucosal viability in this case of pure esophageal atresia admitted for cervical stomal closure after a previous isoperistaltic gastric tube (IGT) replacement procedure. 99mTcO4 scintigraphy was done after encountering a failure to maneuver the esophagoscope through the IGT. The study was helpful in assessing the loss of gastric mucosal viability in an intervening segment of the IGT.

Post-appendicectomy small bowel obstruction due to internal hernia involving Meckel’s diverticulum

Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital abnormality of the small bowel, present in about 2% of the population. A man in his 20s underwent a laparoscopic appendicectomy for acute appendicitis and recovered uneventfully. He presented to the emergency department 1 month later with features of acute small bowel obstruction. Emergency diagnostic laparoscopy revealed a band adhesion between the apex of a Meckel’s diverticulum to the appendicectomy stump. Internal herniation of ileum under this band adhesion resulted in small bowel obstruction and ischaemic necrosis of the Meckel’s diverticulum. The band adhesion was divided, and the Meckel’s diverticulum was resected at the base with a linear cutting stapler. This complication has not been reported previously. A Meckel’s diverticulum is an important differential diagnosis of acute appendicitis and should routinely be searched for among other pathologies. It can rarely cause a postoperative complication of internal hernia.

Following intravenous injection, technetium-99m (99Tcm) is selectively taken up by the stomach, and this uptake, which is stimulated by pentagastrin, may be quantified using a gamma camera. Using this property of 99Tcm as a means of assessing gastric function, we found that the mean rate of 99Tcm uptake was significantly greater in 24 duodenal ulcer patients than in 10 healthy controls (P less than 0.01). Scanning values did not correlate with BAO of MAO which were measured on a separate day. Both vagotomy (n = 10) and cimetidine infusion (n = 5) significantly reduced the rate of uptake of 99Tcm (P less than 0.01). Thus, although 99Tcm reflects a function of the stomach which is similar to acid secretion, scanning did not give a good estimate of acid secretion in this group of subjects.
