Q

Which is the most common tracheoesophageal anomalie?

A

Esophageal atresia with distal tracheoesophageal fistula (85%)

19
Q

How you suspect Esophageal atresia with distal tracheoesophageal fistula?

A

Results in drooling, choking and vomiting with first feeding

20
Q

What is the result of tracheoesophageal fistula?

A

Allows air to enter stomach

21
Q

What is seen in tracheoesophageal fistula?

A

Trachea Allows air to enter stomach (seen in CXR)

22
Q

Which is the secondary event due to Esophageal atresia with distal tracheoesophageal fistula?

A

Cyanosis is secondary to laryngospasm

23
Q

Which is the reason of laryngospasm in Esophageal atresia with distal tracheoesophageal fistula ?

A

To avoid reflux related aspiration

24
Q

Clinical test for Esophageal atresia with distal tracheoesophageal fistula

A

Failure to pass nasogastric tube into stomach

25
Q

Tracheoesophageal anomalies

A

Pure Esophageal atresia (atreia or stenosis)
Pure Tracheoesophageal fistula (H type)
Esophageal atresia with distal tracheoesophageal fistula

26
Q

Which is the H type Tracheoesophageal anomaly?

A

Pure Tracheoesophageal

27
Q

What happens in H type Tracheoesophageal anomalies?

A

Just a fistula alone

28
Q

Findings in pure Esophageal Atresia

A

CXR shows gasless abdomen

29
Q

What could be the effect of Hypertrophy of pylorus?

A

Obstruction

30
Q

During physical exploration what is identified in Hypertrophy of the pylorus?

A

Palpable “olive” mass in epigastric region

31
Q

Characteristics of vomiting in hypertrophy of the pylorus

A

Nonbilious projectile vomiting

32
Q

When is commonly identified hypertrophy of the pylorus?

A

2-6 weeks old

33
Q

Which is the treatment for hypertrophy of the pylorus?

A

Surgical incision

34
Q

Incidence of hypertrophy of the pylorus

A

1/600 live births, more often in firstborn males

35
Q

Where does Pancreas derived from?

A

From foregut

36
Q

Who contributes to the pancreas head and main pancreatic duct?

A

Ventral pancreatic buds

37
Q

Which structures are derived from Ventral pancreatic buds?

A

pancreas head and main pancreatic duct

38
Q

How is uncinate process formed?

A

By the ventral bud alone

39
Q

Structures derived from dorsal pancreatic bud

A

Body, tail, isthmus and accesory pancreatic duct

40
Q

Physiopathology of Annular pancreas

A

Ventral pancreatic bud abnormally encircles 2nd part of duodenum

41
Q

Possible complication of Annular pancreas

A

Forms a ring of pancreatic tissue that may cause duodenal narrowing

42
Q

What is the pancreas divisum? When does it possible occur?

A

Ventral and dorsal parts fail to fuse at 8 weeks

43
Q

From what does Spleen arises?

A

Arises in mesentery of stomach (hence is mesodermal)

44
Q

Who supplies the spleen?

A

Supplied by foregut (celiac artery)
