Q

Gastroschisis results from a defect in the:

A

anterior abdominal wall

17
Q

What happens in gastroschisis

A

abdmominal viscera extrude through wall w/out involvement of the umbilical cord.

18
Q

Why is gastroschisis bad news for the viscera of the intestines?

A

Because viscera gets exposed to amniotic fluid: causes serosistis or inflammation

19
Q

Where does gastroschisis usually occur?

A

on the right side lateral to the umbilicus

20
Q

What is the etiology of gastroschisis?

A

not well understood: multifactoral, vascular event and enviromental factors
NOT A HERNIA!!!!

21
Q

Herniation of the abdominal viscera into teh proximal umbilicus

A

omphalocele

22
Q

What happens in an omphalocele

A

intestines fail to return to the abdomen
can include the liver, stomach and gonads
IG associated with other congenital abnormalities; cardiac and urogenital defects

23
Q

occurs when guts fail to rotate completely upon returning to the body cavity

A

nonrotaiton or malrotation

24
Q

What happens to the positioning of the small and large intestine in nonrotation?

A

large intestine located more leftward

small intestine located more rightward

25
Q

Reverse rotation (clockwise vs counterclockwise) results in ____ positioing of the duodenum in relation to the transverse colon

A

anterior

26
Q

Mispositioned intestine can lead to:

A

volvulus: obstruction, infarction, tissue death

27
Q

outpocketing of the ileum resulting from persistence of teh vitelline duct

A

Meckels diverticulum

28
Q

What can happen with Meckels diverticulum?

A

cysts and fistula can occur also and become inflammed; mimicking appendicitis

29
Q

Meckels diverticulum contains all layers of the ____ and can include epithelial cell types of the stomach and pancreas; enzymes

A

Ileum

30
Q

Aganglionosis of the colon that presents as a megacolon

A

Hirschsprungs disease

31
Q

Whats going on in Hirschburgs disease?

A

enlarged dilated region contains normal neural crest derived ganglion cells; dilation occurs d/t affected tissue that lacks ganglion cells, fails to relax; prevents movement of normal bowel contents
