Cord Clamping

We report a case of a 2-day-old neonate with bilious vomiting and abdominal distension. A small bowel obstruction with ileal perforation due to a misplaced clamping of the umbilical cord was apparent before laparotomy. This complication was a sequala after clamping the cord too close to the abdominal wall in a case where there was a hernia into the cord with intestinal content. A herniation of abdominal contents due to an omphalocele minor or a hernia must be taken into consideration during the inspection of the umbilical cord before clamping.

Bezoars are an undigested mass causing an intraluminal obstruction in children.  Pharmacobezoars are formed from medicines or their vehicle, considered as a less frequent type observed in children. Our objective is to report a relatively rare entity as a potential cause of intestinal obstruction in children.  Here we report a case of 13-year-old girl with a history of herbal medicine intake who presented with persistent vomiting and abdominal distension. She was diagnosed with acute intestinal obstruction and managed conservatively without any complications. The patient became stable within two days so was discharged home. We found that ineffective history could lead to a delay in diagnosis and management. Clinicians should have a high index of suspicion for pica and psychiatric disorders, especially in adolescent children.

Abstract Introduction Enterolith ileus is a rare complication of jejunal diverticulosis, which in itself is a rare entity. Here we report a rare case of enterolith ileus as a complication of jejunal diverticulosis which is successfully managed conservatively. Case Report A 75-year-old female presented with a 7- day history of “gripey” abdominal pain with intermittent vomiting. She was able to pass flatus and had open bowel with small amount of loose stool. Patient was previously fit and well with no significant past medical history and had not undergone previous abdominal surgery. On admission, patient was in no acute distress and was afebrile. On examination, she had a very distended tympanic abdomen with left-sided tenderness but no palpable mass. Bowel sounds were present. Laboratory investigations revealed a white cell count of 22.6 x109/L, C-reactive protein of 26 mg/L and haemoglobin of 144 g/L. Abdominal X-rays revealed distended loops of small bowel indicating small bowel obstruction. CT images did not reveal pneumobilia which would be suggestive of gallstone ileus but showed intraluminal small bowel obstruction secondary to an enterolith in the terminal ileum. The scan also showed an inflamed jejunal diverticulum with fat stranding around but no perforation nor abscess was seen. The working diagnosis was acute intestinal obstruction caused by jejunal enterolith expulsed from jejunal diverticulum. Since no perforation nor abscess was noted, this patient was treated conservatively. Patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged with an MRI scheduled in 4-6 weeks for follow-up. The follow-up MRI was completely normal and patient has recovered uneventfully with conservative management. Discussion Acute intestinal obstruction caused by jejunal enterolith expulsed from jejunal diverticulum is rare. However, it is important to diagnose jejunoileal diverticulosis timely as they may lead to acute complications which can be life- threatening and may even cause death. Conclusion Many cases have reported jejunoileal diverticulosis being overlooked or misdiagnosed for other acute abdominal conditions. It is important to have a clinical awareness of this condition as although rare, it can lead to life-threatening complications.

Rare Case Report

Acute intestinal obstruction is one of the most common surgical emergencies encountered by surgeons on daily bases. Most common causes for small bowel obstruction includes postoperative adhesions and hernia. One of the rarest cause of intestinal obstruction is appendicular band syndrome. Here we report a case of small bowel obstruction due to appendicular tie syndrome in a 70 years old male patient at GMERS hospital, Dharpur, Patan, Gujarat, India.

Acute Small Bowel Obstruction

The purpose of the work - to identify patterns of changes in the morphofunctional organization of the vascular bed of the liver at different stages of development of strangulational and obturating acute small bowel obstruction (ASBO). Material and methods. The study was performed on 33 adult mongrel dogs of both sexes weighing 17-20 kg. The morphology of the liver in normal was studied on 2 (two) of those dogs. Twelve animals were simulated with a strangulational ASBO. In 12 animals, a low obturating ASBO was simulated. A morphometric method was used to assess the change in the volume of the vascular bed in terms of the degree of change in the area of the vessels per unit area. Results. In the dynamics of the development of the disease, we revealed patterns of changes in the morphofunctional organization of the vascular bed of the liver. Conclusions. In the process of formation of obturating ASBO, in spite of the absence of clinical manifestations of acute intestinal obstruction, the emergence of a basis for the development of polyorganic insufficiency has already been observed from 2 days.

Acute Small Bowel Obstruction

Introduction. Meckel diverticulum-is a residue of not completely reduced yolk duct. Among the occurring complications of Meckel’s cuticle in the adult population, acute intestinal obstruction prevails. In this case, the most common intussusception and inversion of the intestines. The occurrence of small bowel obstruction due to phytobesoar in the Meckel diverticulum is a rare condition and has been described in the literature in isolated cases. Materials and methods. The patient of 29 years entered the surgical Department with complaints of abdominal pain of a permanent nature, violation of the discharge of stool and gases, vomiting up to 4 times. Sick for about 2 days. Fluoroscopy of the abdomen showed multiple arches with small bowel fluid levels, single bowl kloybera. The man was operated on urgently with a diagnosis of acute mechanical small bowel obstruction. Results. During the operation, Meckel’s phytobezoar diverticula was detected, which caused acute small bowel obstruction, for which the fragmentation of the bezoar was performed with its relegation to the cecum. The postoperative period proceeded without complications, the patient was discharged on the 10th day after surgery. After 6 weeks, the patient underwent laparoscopic diverticulectomy as planned. Discharged for 5 days. Conclusion. A clinical case of treatment of a patient with phytobezoar Meckel diverticulum complicated by acute mechanical small bowel obstruction is presented. The use of delayed diverticulectomy can reduce the risk of anastomosis failure in acute intestinal obstruction, and if proper diet is observed, it reduces the risk of recurrent intestinal obstruction before re-planned hospitalization.

Patient’S History

Owing to their rare occurrence, persimmon bezoars are often overlooked as a cause of small bowel obstruction. We herein report a small bowel obstruction in a 67-year-old Japanese female who regularly consumed persimmons in autumn. The patient presented to our hospital with typical complaints of abdominal distension with pain for 2 days. Based on the patient's history of a cesarean section 34 years ago, we initially diagnosed her with small bowel obstruction resulting from adhesions and placed an ileus tube. At first, the patient rejected the operation in spite of our recommendation. After 10 days, because the ileus tube was unable to relieve the obstruction, finally surgery was scheduled. Upon releasing the obstruction by partial resection of the small bowel, we found an impacted bezoar without any evidence of adhesions. After stone analysis, we first realized her regular persimmon intake. This case serves as an important reminder to obtain dietary history in order to investigate all possible causes of small bowel obstruction when intestinal obstruction is suspected.
