Feb28 M2-GI Embryology In the Trenches Part 1 Flashcards
general cause of duodenal atresia
defect in development
usual cause of jejunum and ileum atresia
blood supply problem (thrombus, vessel spasm)
how and when gut grows
week 4. primordial gut: outpouching of endoderm growing in adjacent mesenchyme
structures derived from foregut
- pharynx
- lower resp tract
- esophagus
- stomach
- duodenum
- liver and biliary tract
- pancreas
important concept in duod embryo
stuff in midgut can affect it bc duod is transition to
midgut
why stomach has greater and lesser curvature
dorsal border grew faster than ventral border = greater curvature
vagus and stomach 90 deg clockwise rotation
- left side became anterior (left vagus anterior)
2. right vagus posterior
cause of stomach fixation anomaly
loose attachments, diaphragmatic defects
consequence of stomach fixation problem
possible volvulus (obstructive and or ischemic)
treatment of fixation anomaly of stomach
gastropexy: stitch stomach laparo + stitch to diaphragm
organoaxial volvulus def
stomach twisted upwards on its axis. lesser curvature points down
organomesenteric volvulus def
stomach twisted on its entire mesentery + pylorus pushing against diaphragm
organoaxial volvulus conseq
ischemia
organomesenteric volvulus conseq
obstruction: pylorus can’t empty. vomiting
(IMPORTANT) most common GI anomaly in infants
pyloric stenosis
symptoms of pyloric stenosis
projectile vomiting. non bilious
