Peds GI Flashcards
necrotizing enterocolitis –> epidemiology?
- preterm
- term: congenital heart dz, immunosupp, umbilical venous catheter
necrotizing enterocolitis –> cause?
combo of infxn & ischemia related to feeding
necrotizing enterocolitis –> MC location?
ileum & RLQ colon
necrotizing enterocolitis –> initial XR finding
loop of bowel:
- wall thicken
- fixed distention over serial exams
necrotizing enterocolitis –> MC complication
bowel stricture
hypertrophic pyloric stenosis –> epidemiology?
2-12wk M>F
hypertrophic pyloric stenosis –> US findings? (3)
- thickened pylorus wall
- increased pyloric channel length
- gastric contents not pass thru
pylorospasm –> US findings?
- normal pylorus
- gastric contents pass thru
infant –> appendicitis –> common or rare?
rare
volvulus –> clinical presentation?
neonatal bilious emesis
malrotation –> MOA?
embryogenesis –> bowel fail to normally rotate
malrotation –> potential complication? (2) why?
- abnormal mesenteric fixation –> volvulus
- Ladd bands –> distal bowel obstruct
malrotation –> when present?
70% within 1mo
90% within 1yo
UGI –> eval for malrotation –> specific components to evaluate? (3)
- C-sweep of duodenum
- duodeno-jejunal jx: L of midline & at level of duodenal bulb
- 2nd & 4th duodenum retroperitoneal & parallel
midgut volvulus:
- MC XR appearance?
- uncommon XR appearance?
- MC XR appearance: mult dilated bowel loops
- uncommon XR appearance: duodenal obstruct –> double bubble sign
midgut volvulus –> classic UGI finding?
corkscrew appearance
malrotation –> cecum location?
- more midline than normal
- LLQ
malrotation –> SMA & SMV location?
normal: right SMV, left SMA
malrotation: right SMA, left SMV
malrotation –> tx?
Ladd procedure:
- reduce volvulus
- lyse mesenteric adhesions (Ladd bands)
- place small bowel on R, large bowel on L
intussusception –> MC location?
ileocolic
intussusception –> classic presentation?
- colicky abd pain
- currant jelly stool
- palpable RLQ abd mass
intussusception –> idiopathic vs pathologic lead point –> epidemiology?
- newborn: pathologic lead pt
- 3mo-3.5yo: idiopathic
- > 3.5yo: pathologic lead pt
neonate –> intussusception –> possible cause?
Meckel diverticulum
> 3.5yo –> intussusception –> possible cause?
lymphoma
bloody stool –> US demonstrate bowel wall thickening –> ddx? (3)
- intussusception
- colitis
- intramural hematoma (d/t trauma, Henoch-Schonlein purpura)
intussusception –> tx?
air/contrast enema
intussusception –> tx enema reduction –> contraindication? (3)
- free air
- peritoneal signs
- septic shock
esophageal atresia & tracheoesophageal fistula –> MC assoc synd?
VACTERL
VACTERL –> synd?
- Vertebral segmentation anomaly
- Anal atresia
- Cardiac anomaly
- TracheoEsophageal fistula
- Renal anomaly
- Limb (radial ray) anomaly
tracheoesophageal fistula –> MC type?
82% –> type A: proximal esophageal atresia & distal TEF
proximal esophageal atresia & distal TEF –> classic CXR appearance?
- NG tube terminate mid-esophagus
- air-filled bowel (from TEF)
TEF –> assoc condition?
tracheal anomaly:
- tracheomalacia
- bronchus suis
in utero –> polyhydramnios & lack of visualization of stomach –> ddx? (1)
esophageal atresia
gastric atresia –> diagnostic imaging finding?
single bubble
clinical presentation –> hypertrophic pyloric stenosis vs gastric atresia?
vomiting:
HPS: progressively worse
gastric atresia: not worse
neonatal bowel obstruct –> when present?
24-48 day old
XR –> proximal bowel obstruction –> next imaging modality of choice for evaluation? why?
UGI –> differentiate midgut volvulus (emergent surg) vs atresia (non-emergent)
XR –> distal bowel obstruction –> next imaging modality of choice for evaluation?
LGI
proximal bowel obstruction –> tx?
surg
distal bowel obstruction –> tx?
- surg
- medical
duodenal anomaly –> other assoc anomaly? (5)
- Down
- VACTERL
- cardiac shunt lesion
- malrotation
- annular pancreas
duodenal atresia –> classic XR appearance?
- double bubble: dilation stomach + proximal duodenum
- lack of distal bowel gas
double bubble + distal bowel gas –> ddx? (3)
- midgut volvulus
- annular pancreas
- duodenal stenosis/web
jejunal atresia –> MCC?
in utero vascular insult
jejunal atresia –> classic XR appearance?
triple bubble
distal bowel obstruction –> surgical causes? (2)
- distal atresia
- Hirschsprung dz
distal bowel obstruction –> medical causes? (2)
- meconium ileus
- fxal immaturity
what is microcolon?
abnormally small caliber (<1cm) colon –> d/t disuse
microcolon –> secondary to proximal vs distal bowel obstruction? why?
distal
proximal bowel –> secrete succus entericus –> prevent microcolon
