Evaluation of congenital anomalies accompanying to gastrointestinal system surgical pathologies
Öz
Purpose: The aim of this study was to review accompanied congenital anomalies to gastrointestinal pathologies.
Materials and Methods: The medical records of patients who were admitted to neonatal intensive care unit with gastrointestinal system surgical pathologies during 2015-2018 were retrospectively evaluated for associated congenital anomalies.
Results: 67 patients were identified during the study period. The most common gastrointestinal system pathology was anal atresia in 15 cases (22.4%), followed by diaphragmatic hernia in 14 cases (20.9%), esophageal atresia (n:10) and ileal atresia (n:10) (14.9%). Thirty two patients (48.8%) have had accompanied congenital anomalies to gastrointestinal system pathologies. Congenital heart disease was the most common anomaly and the most frequent one was atrial septal defect in 18 cases (26.8%). In addition, there was complex congenital heart disease in (n:13) 19.4%. In 12 patients (17.9%), accompanied extracardiac anomalies were detected. Hydronephrosis and sludge in gall bladder were detected in three patients (4.5%). Vesicoureteral reflux or ectopic kidney or polysplenia was detected as a separate anomaly in each case. In our cases, prematurity rate was found in 54%.
Conclusion: Gastrointestinal system pathologies are frequently associated with multiple anomalies, especially with congenital heart diseases. In addition, these patients are likely to be preterm baby.
