An unusually high incidence (40%) of maternal diabetes was observed in a series of 20 newborn infants who had low colonic obstruction and barium enema findings of a uniformly narrowed colon from the splenic flexure to the anus. This has been termed the "neonatal small left colon syndrome." We investigated the incidence of this colon configuration in gastrointestinally asymptomatic infants of diabetic mothers. Of 12 such infants examined by barium enema, six have shown this same narrowing of the left colon. The relationship of maternal diabetes to the small left colon is not yet clearly understood.
在一系列20例患有低位结肠梗阻且钡剂灌肠显示从脾曲至肛门的结肠均匀狭窄的新生儿中，观察到母亲患糖尿病的发生率异常高（40%）。这被称为“新生儿左半结肠综合征”。我们调查了糖尿病母亲的胃肠道无症状婴儿中这种结肠形态的发生率。在通过钡剂灌肠检查的12例此类婴儿中，有6例显示出相同的左半结肠狭窄。母亲患糖尿病与左半结肠变小之间的关系尚未完全明确。
