Acquired colonic stenosis is extremely rare in infants and surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment. Endoscopic balloon dilation has shown success in treating bowel stenosis from inflammatory bowel disease but its application in infants with colonic strictures of other origin has not been widely explored. We report a 4-week-old male infant who developed significant abdominal distension due to progressive colonic stenosis, occurring 2 weeks following balloon valvuloplasty for his severe valvular pulmonary stenosis.

- The study examined bowel dysfunction prevalence in children with Hirschsprung disease (HD) after pull-through surgery, analyzing medical records from 2004 to 2022.
- Out of 97 children studied, 64.95% experienced bowel dysfunction, with Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) being the most common issue, affecting nearly half of the subjects.
- Key findings indicated that previous HAEC, the type of surgical procedure (Duhamel operation), and the child's age at surgery (under 6 months) significantly correlated with post-surgery bowel dysfunction outcomes.
Purpose: To describe clinical features of choledochal cyst (CC) patients in terms of demographic data, clinical presentation, investigations, treatment, and outcomes among children and adults.
Methods: The medical records of patients undergoing choledochal cyst (CC) surgery from 2002 to 2021 at a university hospital were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into two groups: children (< 15 years) and adults (≥ 15 years).
Several diseases originate from bile duct pathology. Despite studies on these diseases, certain etiologies of some of them still cannot be concluded. The most common disease of the bile duct in newborns is biliary atresia, whose prognosis varies according to the age of surgical correction.
