due to malformation during organogenesis; aberations in normal process of intestinal rotation in utero
[malrotation] pathogenesis
due to malformation during organogenesis; aberrations in normal process of intestinal rotation in utero
[malrotation] s/s

[malrotation] dx
UGIS
BaE
Sonography
[malrotation] dx golden standard
UGIS
[malrotation] rad’phy appearance - UGIS
deviations from the normal route of contrast in the duodenum (may show gastric torsion)
[malrotation] rad’phy appearance - BaE
evaluate location of cecum
[malrotation] rad’phy appearance - Sonography
if UGIS and BaE is contraindicated - complementary - 3rd part of duodenum is between aorta and SMA
[malrotation] Cx
-volvulus
-incarceration of bowel
[malrotation] Rx
resection anastomosis for complications

male predominance
[Hirschsprung Disease] pathophysiology
unknown pathology; linked to manifestation of parasympathetic nervous system
[Hirschsprung Disease] s/s
distended sigmoid
severe constipation
narrow rectum
recurrent fecal impaction
[Hirschsprung Disease] dx
BaE, UTS, CT, MRI
[Hirschsprung Disease] Cx
distended abdomen, constipation
-fecal impaction - toxic megacolon (BaE contraindication)
[Hirschsprung Disease] Tx
Resection + Colostomy
congenital diverticulum of distal ileum (w/in 5ft of ileocecal valve)
abnormal pouch or pocket of distal ileum
Meckel Diverticulum
[Meckel Diverticulum] pathophysiology

abnormal digestion and absorption of gluten in SB
gluten-sensitive enteropathy
[gluten-sensitive enteropathy] other name
non tropical sprue
celiac sprue/disease
[gluten-sensitive enteropathy] pathophysiology
gliadin fraction of gluten acts as antigen - combines w/ antibodies
[gluten-sensitive enteropathy] s/s

avoid food containing gluten, vitamin therapy
inability to digest certain carbohydrates (including lactose bc of acquired deficiency)
carbohydrate intolerance
[carbohydrate intolerance] incidence
60% non white population
[carbohydrate intolerance]
pathophysiology
lack of lactase - unabsorbed lactose acts as osmotic agent - fluid weeps from the bowel wall into the lumen

surgery
corticosteroids
repeated dilation using tubes
due to backward flow of gastric acid and contents into the esophagus due to incompetent cardiac sphincter

[GERD] pathophysiology
no definitive pathologic cause, not necessarily always abnormal
[GERD] s/s
dysphagia, backwash, chest pain, heart burn, upper abdo pain
[GERD] dx
-UGIS - not useful
-Reflux Scintigraphy -Tc99m –DTPA mix with H20
