Pneumatosis intestinalis in a cohort of children with neurological impairment: A patient group with a management dilemma.

Aim: Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is uncommon in school-age children. We studied a cohort of neurologically impaired school-age children with PI to formulate an optimum management plan.

Methods: We retrospectively studied all school-age children who were referred to paediatric surgeons with radiological evidence of PI identified between 2011 and 2015.

Supraventricular tachycardia precipitated by a peripherally inserted central catheter in an infant with gastroschisis.

Gastroschisis is a common congenital abdominal wall defect requiring surgical correction in early neonatal life. The time to full enteral feeds among infants with gastroschisis is variable. Gastroschisis remains a common surgical cause of intestinal failure in neonates.
