Q

patent accessory pancreatic duct

A

not an abnormality

22
Q

pancreatic divisum

A

patients prone to pancreatitis

23
Q

annular pancreas

A

duodenal obstruction or stenosis caused by pancreas wrapping around duodenum

24
Q

signs of annular pancreas

A

bilious vomiting if annulus is inferior to bile duct

25
Q

cystic fibrosis of the pancreas

A

inflamed pancreas due to digestive enzymes not being flushed from pancreatic duct

26
Q

severity of the CFTR mutations is graded by

A

their effect on the pancreas

27
Q

meconium ileum at birth is seen in what disorder

A

cystic fibrosis

28
Q

omphalocele will have

A

persistent herniation through umbilicus
peritoneal covering
trisomy 13 or 18
bowel encased within umbilicus, will appear relatively normal

29
Q

omphacele cause

A

failed lateral body folding or inability of body wall to form normally

30
Q

gastroschisis

A

midgut herniated through abdominal wall
no peritoneal covering
no known chromosomal abnormalities

31
Q

cause of gastroschisis

A

premature recession of right umbilical vein

32
Q

signs of gastroschisis

A

second or third trimester ultrasound and elevated alpha-fetoprotein

33
Q

umbilical hernia

A

segment of midgut herniated through umbilicus
- skin covers herniation

34
Q

meckels diverticulum

A

persistence of vitelline duct

35
Q

problems caused by meckels diverticulum

A

risk of volvulus
risk of intussusception

36
Q

rule of 2s for mockers diverticulum

A

2% of incidence
2 times more common in. males
2 percent of symptoms
2 years of age
2 inches long

37
Q

non rotation of midgut loop

A

2nd and 3rd rotations fail to occur (retraction phase)

38
Q

non rotation of midgut loop causes

A

left sided colon and increased risk of volvulus

39
Q

reversed rotation of midgut loop

A

only second and 3rd rotations are reversed
transverse colon is secondarily retroperitoneal
duodenum can dress against transverse colon and cause blockage

40
Q

volvulus causes

A

malrotation of gut
ladd’s bands

41
Q

effects of volvulus

A

intestinal ischemia or necrotic or ischemic bowel
vomiting, GI bleed, acute abdominal pain

42
Q

intestinal atresia or stenosis

A

due to failed recanalization of midgut or vascular accidents (section does not get enough perfusion)

43
Q

sources of diaphragm

A

septum transversum
pleuroperitoneal membrane
mesoderm of body wall
esophageal mesenchyme

44
Q

congenital diaphragmatic hernia is seen where

A

commonly on left side

45
Q

types of congenital diaphragmatic hernias

A

bochdalek hernias: worse hernias
Morgan hernias: less common

46
Q

effects of congenital diaphragmatic hernia

A

pulmonary hypoplasia

47
Q

intussusception causes

A

most commonly idiopathic
in children: lymphoid hyperplasia
in adults: tumors are the most common

48
Q

common cause of bowel obstruction in children under 2

A

intussusception

49
Q

abnormal formation of the urogenital septum

A

fistula causing incomplete separation of urogenital sinus and anorectal canal

50
Q

imperforate anus

A

persistent anal membrane commonly seen in VACTERL and Down syndrome and fistula

51
Q

classifications of imperforate anus

A

low, intermediate, high

52
Q

Hirschsprungs disease

A

absence of ganglionic plexus due to absence of caudal migration of vagal neural crest cells (primary)
- colonic distention (megacolon)
associated with trisomy 21
