Abstract
|
|
|
|
An isolated tubular intestinal loop (ITIL) means an anatomical or vascular communication with rest of the bowel loop and may provide an insight into the pathogenesis of intestinal atresia. We experienced a case of an ITIL identified in omentum of a 4-day-old neonate with type-II intestinal atresia. To our knowledge, this association has never been reported in the English literature. Omental wrapping of the incompletely resorbed ischemic bowel segment may explain this phenomenon in a case of congenital intestinal atresia.
