There are no reported survivors of gastroschisis with complete liver herniation. We describe a case report of two patients, one of whom survived.
CASE #1: The patient was born with gastroschisis and herniation of the entire liver. Along with silo placement, the abdominal fascia was attached to an external traction system for growth. Complete closure was achieved at 5 months. Due to pulmonary hypoplasia, high-frequency ventilation was required. The patient is doing well, on a home ventilator wean, at 20 months.
CASE #2: The patient was born prematurely with gastroschisis, total liver herniation, and a defect extending to the pericardium. A silo was attached to the fascia to provide growth of the abdominal cavity. The patient developed respiratory failure, diffuse anasarca, and renal failure. She died at 38 days of life.
We report the first survivor of gastroschisis with complete liver herniation, contrasting it with a death of a similar case. The associated pulmonary hypoplasia may require long-term ventilation, the inflammatory response can lead to anasarca, and renal injury can occur from acute-on-chronic compartment syndrome.
External fascial traction systems can help induce growth of the abdominal wall, allowing closure of the challenging abdomen. While critical care management is complex, survival is possible.
尚无腹裂合并完全性肝脏疝出的幸存者报道。我们描述了两例患者的病例报告,其中一例存活。
病例1:该患者出生时患有腹裂和整个肝脏疝出。除了放置袋子外,还将腹横筋膜连接到外部牵引系统以促进生长。5个月时实现了完全闭合。由于肺发育不全,需要高频通气。该患者在20个月时情况良好,正在进行家庭呼吸机撤机。
病例2:该患者早产,患有腹裂、全肝疝出以及延伸至心包的缺损。在筋膜上连接了一个袋子以促进腹腔生长。该患者出现呼吸衰竭、全身性水肿和肾衰竭。她在出生38天时死亡。
我们报告了首例腹裂合并完全性肝脏疝出的幸存者,并将其与一例类似病例的死亡情况进行对比。相关的肺发育不全可能需要长期通气,炎症反应可导致全身性水肿,急性慢性间隔综合征可导致肾损伤。
外部筋膜牵引系统有助于诱导腹壁生长,从而实现对具有挑战性的腹部的闭合。虽然重症监护管理很复杂,但存活是有可能的。
