20 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
Malrotation
incomplete rotation of intestine during fetal dev

axis = superior mesenteric artery

incomplete rotation (most common) vs nonrotation

predispose to midgut volvulus
Cleft lip
failed medial nasal and maxillary processes to join

assocated maternal drug abuse, genetics

feeding problem

seen in van der woude syndrome
Cleft palate
if isloated, occurs in midline

also see missing teeth, ear infection, hearing loss
esophageal atresia and tracheo-esophageal fistula
most common type is proximal esophageal atresia and fistual between distal esophagus and trachea

drooling, choking, coughing, cyanosis with feeding
esophageal duplication cyst
most common fore-gut duplication cyst

smooth muscle wall lined with epithelium
esophageal web
composed of mucosa and submucosa - extension due to remnant of embryonic development - failed re-canalization of esophagus
hypertrophic pyloric stenosis
most common in 1st borne male child

increased incidence in blood groups B an O

nonbilious forceful vomiting after feed

dehydration and alkalosis

thickness >4mm
pyloric channel length >14mm
duodenal atresa
most common after esophageal atresa

higher incidence in premature infants

high association with down syndrome, malrotation, CHD

look for double bubble sign

vomiting with or without bile, jaundice
duodenal stenosis
incomplete duodenal obstruction

higher incidence in premature

association with down syndrome, cardiac defects, esophageal atresa
omphalocele
herniation of intestine through umbilical cord

sac composed of Wharton's jelly

assocated with trisomy 13,18,21
gastroschisis
defect or hole in abdominal wall allows abdominal contents to protrude outside body (type of hernia)

usually right of the umbilicus and completely separate from umbilicus

no peritoneal covering over the bowel or other contents (like in omphalocele)
meckel's diverticula
outpouching of bowel in ileum near cecum

remnants of vitellointestinal or omphalomesenteric duct

often find ectopic gastric or pancreatic mucosa

painless rectal bleeding

most common cause of massive lower GI bleeding in children

possible to cause ileoileocolic intussusception
hirschsprung disease
aganglionosis due to failed migration of neural crest cells

lack of intrinsic enteric inhibitory nerves and NO - constant constriction -> obstruction

usually limited to rectum or sigmoid

RET on chr10 moves neural crest through digest tract

EDNRB on chr13 proteins needed to connect nerve cells to digestive tract
RET protooncogene
located on Chr10

needed for movement of neural crest cells through digestive tract
endothelial receptor B (EDNRB)
Chr13

proteins that connect nerve cells to digestive tract
diagnosis of hirschsprung disease
rectal biopsy - stain with acetylcholinesterase look for ganglion cells
imperforate anus
assocation with renal abnormalitis (mostly the high type)

associated with other congenital anomalies - VACTERL
VACTERL
V - vertebral anomalies
A - anal atresia
C - cardiac defect - VSD
T - tracheoesophageal fistula
R - renal abnormalities
L - limb abnormalities
hirschsprung disease symptoms
CONSTIPATION, bilious vomiting
arteries of the GI tract
celiac artery - foregut

superior mesenteric artery - midgut

inferiour mesenteric artery - hindgut
