Intestinal webs which are categorized under type-1 intestinal atresia rarely occur in the jejunum. These webs are occasionally diagnosed late because their central fenestration allows the passage of food.
We report a toddler who presented with atypical symptoms of bowel obstruction and non-specific plain radiograph and ultrasound findings. The diagnosis of jejunal obstruction was made possible with contrast-enhanced computed tomography and obstruction was found to be the result of a jejunal web at the surgery.
Few cases of jejunal webs are reported in the literature. The jejunum is the site of only 8% of webs and 33% of jejunal webs are associated with other congenital anomalies and/or prematurity.
Jejunal web needs a high degree of suspicion to be diagnosed and should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis in the setting of unexplained persistent non-bilious emesis in otherwise normal toddlers.
归类于1型肠闭锁的肠内系膜在空肠中很少见。这些系膜偶尔会因中央有小孔允许食物通过而诊断较晚。
我们报告一名幼儿,表现为肠梗阻的非典型症状以及非特异性的平片和超声检查结果。通过增强计算机断层扫描得以诊断为空肠梗阻,手术时发现梗阻是由空肠系膜所致。
文献中报道的空肠系膜病例很少。空肠仅占系膜病例的8%,且33%的空肠系膜与其他先天性异常和/或早产有关。
空肠系膜的诊断需要高度怀疑,在其他方面正常的幼儿出现不明原因的持续性非胆汁性呕吐时,应将其作为鉴别诊断予以考虑。
