A Rare Cause of a Congenital Duodenal Obstruction in The Newborn Period with Nonbilious Vomiting: Annular Pancreas

Abstract

The various causes of congenital duodenal obstruction (CDO) in the newborn infants are well known but a spesific radiologic diagnosis is difficult to establish. CDOs are classified as extrinsic and intrensic. The annuler pancreas (AP) is involved in extrinsic causes, and is frequently recognised during operation. The annulus is usually consists of a band of pancreatic tissue that completely surrounds the second part of the duodenum. We will describe AP, completely encircled the first portion of the duodenum in the newborn period as a rare cause of CDO with nonbilious vomiting, jaundice and discuss the diagnostic strategies and management.

Nonbilious Kusma ile Yenidoğan Döneminde Konjenital Duodenal Obstrüksiyonun Nadir Bir Nedeni: Annüler Pankreas

Abstract

Yenidoğan bebeklerde konjenital duodenal obstrüksiyonun (CDO) çeşitli nedenleri iyi bilinmektedir, ancak spesifik bir radyolojik tanı koymak zordur. CDO'lar ekstrinsik ve intrenik olarak sınıflandırılır. Annuler pankreas (AP) ekstrinsik nedenlere karışır ve operasyon sırasında sıklıkla fark edilir. Anulus genellikle duodenumun ikinci bölümünü tamamen çevreleyen bir pankreatik doku bandından oluşur. Yenidoğan döneminde duodenumun ilk bölümünü tamamen çevreleyen, noninvaziv kusma ve sarılık ile birlikte CDO'nun nadir bir nedeni olarak AP'yi, tanımlayacağız ve tanı stratejilerini ile yönetimini tartışacağız.
