AI Article Synopsis

  • - The case involves a newborn suspected of having duodenal atresia based on prenatal imaging, but postnatal X-rays showed gas in the distal bowel and a possible mass causing pyloric obstruction seen on ultrasound.
  • - Fluoroscopic studies indicated no contrast was passing through the stomach, which led to an operative evaluation.
  • - During surgery, an unusually shaped pylorus with abnormal glandular tissue was found, and a pyloromyotomy was performed, successfully relieving the obstruction without changing the baby's anatomy.

Article Abstract

This is a case of a neonate with suspected duodenal atresia on prenatal imaging. However, distal bowel gas was identified postnatally on regular X-rays with a possible pyloric obstructing mass visualised on ultasound. No contrast was visualised passing through the stomach on fluoroscopic studies. Operative evaluation revealed an atypical asymmetric hypertrophic pylorus with exophytic lesions of ectopic glandular tissue. Longitudinal open pyloromyotomy was performed which relieved the gastric obstruction resulting in symptomatic relief without any anatomy altering procedure required.
