  • Purpose: Intussusception is the most common cause of bowel obstruction in children; however, it is rarely diagnosed in newborn infants. This study aimed to describe the clinical features of intussusception in newborn infants. Methods: Medical records of eight patients diagnosed with intussusception during the newborn period at Ulsan University Hospital between March 2007 and March 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Among the eight cases, two occurred in the intrauterine period and six occurred in the postnatal period. Intrauterine intussusception presented with symptoms of bowel obstruction within 1 to 2 days after birth, and ileal atresia was diagnosed simultaneously through exploratory laparotomy. All the postnatal patients were extremely low birth weight infants (median gestational age and birth weight: 25+6 weeks and 745 g, respectively). Four cases were diagnosed preoperatively using abdominal ultrasonography. One patient was diagnosed by exploratory laparotomy because the clinical symptoms were nonspecific and difficult to differentiate from those of necrotizing enterocolitis, a more prevalent complication in preterm infants. The site of intussusception in all six patients was the small bowel. Meckel's diverticulum (one case) and meconium obstruction (two cases) were found to be the lead point. Conclusion: Neonatal intussusception tends to show different clinical features according to its period of occurrence. Intussusception, especially in preterm infants, has nonspecific clinical features; therefore, clinicians should always be cautious of this disease for its early diagnosis.

  • 목적: 신생아 담즙 정체증 환아의 감별을 위해 $Tc^{99m}$ DISIDA 간담도 주사 검사 상 신생아 간염과 간외 담도 폐쇄증 의증의 임상증상, 이학소견, 생화학 검사 등을 비교하고, 무담즙변과 $Tc^{99m}$ DISIDA 간담도 주사 검사의 관련성을 비교함으로서 진단에 도움을 얻고자 하였다. 방법: 1993년 6월부터 2001년 1월까지 한양대학병원 소아과 및 소아외과에 직접반응형 고빌리루 빈혈증을 주소로 입원했던 4개월 미만의 환아 중 $Tc^{99m}$ DISIDA 간담도 주사를 시행한 29명의 환아들을 대상으로 하였다. 이 중 간외 담도 폐쇄증 의증은 9명이고 신생아 간염은 20명으로 임상증상 및 이학적 소견, 생화학적 검사, $Tc^{99m}$ DISIDA 간담도 주사 결과를 조사하였다. 결과: 1) 간외 담도 폐쇄증 의증 환아가 신생아 간염보다 더 빨리 진단되고, 두 집단 모두 정상체중, 만삭아가 대부분이고, 남아에서 호발했다. 황달은 두집단 모두에게, 무담즙변은 간외 담도 폐쇄증 의증환아 모두에게 나타났으며 신생아 간염은 무담즙 변이 10%에서만 나타났다. 2) 내원 당시 검사상 direct bilirubin이 간외 담도 폐쇄증 의증일 때는 $6{\pm}2.6$ mg/dL, 신생아 간염은 $4.0{\pm}2.5$ mg/dL로 간외 담도 폐쇄증 의증에서 유의하게 증가되었고, 간외 담도 폐쇄증 의증은 소변 bilirubin이 더 많이 나타났다. 3) 간외 담도 폐쇄증 의증에서 direct bilirubin, total bilirubin, ALT, AST, ALP의 정상화되는 기간이 좀 더 오래 걸렸다. bilirubin 수치의 호전을 보이는 비율은 비슷했고 간외 담도 폐쇄증 의증이 심화되는 경우가 22.2%로 더 많았고 주로 수술 후 부작용에 의한 것이었다. 4) 무담즙변 환아 중에 $Tc^{99m}$ DISIDA 간담도 주사 상 소장 내 방사활성이 있는 환아가 18.2%였고, 방사활성이 없는 환아가 81.8%로 나타났고, 간외 담도 폐쇄증 의증으로 판단되어 수술한 환아가 63.6%로 나타났다. 5) 무담즙변 여부와 $Tc^{99m}$ DISIDA 간담도 주사 결과간의 상관계수에서 r 값은 -0.858로서 절대값이 1에 가깝고 음수로 이는 역상관 관계가 높아 무담즙변 환아와 방사활성이 없을 경우, 담즙변 환아와 방사활성이 있는 경우간 상관관계가 높게 나타났다. 6) 무담즙변 환아 중$Tc^{99m}$ DISIDA 간담도 주사 검사 상 소장 내 방사활성이 없는 환아에서 total bilirubin이 유의하게 증가되어 있고, direct bilirubin, total bilirubin, ALT, AST도 증가되어 있었으나 유의하지는 않았다. 7) $Tc^{99m}$ DISIDA 간담도 주사 검사 상 소장 내 방사활성이 있는 환아 중 무담즙변이 없는 경우에 ALT가 유의하게 높았고, direct bilirubin, total bilirubin, AST는 유의하지 않게 높았으며 무담즙변일 경우에는 ALP, 소변 bilirubin 양성률이 더 높았지만 유의하지는 않았다. 그러나 이에 대해서는 더 많은 환자에 대한 검사가 필요하리라 생각된다. 결론: 간외 담도 폐쇄증 의증 환아는 무담즙변, direct bilirubin 4 mg/dL 이상, 소변 bilirubin 양성, $Tc^{99m}$ DISIDA 간담도 주사 검사 상 방사활성이 없을 때 가능성이 높다. 간외 담도 폐쇄증 의증에서 수술 후 검사결과의 정상화되는 기간이 좀 더 오래 걸리고, 호전되는 경우는 간외 담도 폐쇄증 의증, 신생아 간염이 각각 66.7%, 70%로 두 군이 비슷했다. 심화되는 경우는 간외 담도 폐쇄증 의증에서 더 많았고 주로 수술 후 부작용에 의한 것으로 생각되며 오히려 수술하지 않은 2명에서 특별한치료 없이 호전 양상을 보이기도 했다. 무담즙변 환아 중 방사활성이 없는 환아에서 total bilirubin이 유의하게 증가되었고, 방사활성이 있는 환아 중 무 담즙변이 없는 경우에 ALT가 오히려 유의하게 증가되었으나 더 많은 환자군에 대한 연구가 필요하리라 본다. 무담즙변과 소장 내 방사활성이 없는 경우간에는 유의한 상관관계가 있지만 무담즙변 11명 중 2명(18.2%)에서 소장 내 방사활성이 관찰되었다는 점, 소장 내 방사활성이 없는 환아 9명중 수술 없이도 호전된 환아가 2명(22.2%)으로 관찰되었다는 점등은 무담즙변이 있다는 것과 소장 내 방사활성이 없다는 것만으로 간외 담도 폐쇄증으로 판단될 수 없으며 경피 간침 생검이나 시험 개복술로 확진하여야 한다는 것을 말해 준다.

  • Midgut volvulus secondary to intestinal malrotation usually presents within the first month of life. Diagnostic delay may result in midgut infarction and mortality. In this retrospective study, we review seventeen cases of midgut volvulus to assess the importance of early recognition for midgut volvulus in pediatric patients of any age.. These patients were diagnosed as having a midgut volvulus by operation at Ewha Womans University Hospital. Eleven patients (64.7 %) were less than 1 month of age, and fifteen were boys (88.2 %). The mean gestational age was 38.3 weeks and the birth weight was 3.1 kg. Eight patients (47.1 %) had one or more combined anomalies such as heart malformation, brain ischemia, Down's syndrome or duodenal atresia. Vomiting was the most common symptom. Only thirteen patients underwent preoperative diagnostic procedures; 13 abdominal sonography demonstrated the whirlpool sign in 8 patients, upper gastrointestinal tract roentgenography showed a cork-screw pattern in 7 patients, and barium enema or small bowel series demonstrated positive findings in 7 patients. A Ladd's procedure was was formed on all patients.. There was no mortality or severe morbidity such as short bowel syndrome. Midgut volvulus should be included in the differential diagnosis in any infant or child who presents with the symptoms of acute abdomen, especially with vomiting.

  • Congenital dilatation of the common bile duct (choledochal cyst) is an uncommon disease. Although the etiology is unknown yet, various theories such as distal obstruction of the common bile duct, congenital weakness of the duct and anomalous union of the pancreaticobiliary duct have been offered to explain the occurrence of choledochal cyst. Thirty - six cases of choledochal cyst over 22 years were analyzed clinically and classified according to Todani's classification and Kimura's anomalous union of pancreaticobiliary duct type. Todani type 1 consisted with 22 cases which were subdivided into 19 cases of type Ia, 1 case of type Ib and 2 of type Ic. Type IVa consisted with 14 cases including one case of Caroli's disease. There were 25 type BP cases and 10 type PB cases and 1 normal pancreatobiliary junction. Serum alkaline phosphatase was increased significantly in almost all cases. Seven patients (19.4%) had associated congenital anomalies such as double gallbladder, left - sided gallbladder, common bile duct web, biliary atresia, accessory hepatic duct, heterotopic pancreas, cleft lip and 2 cases of intestinal malrotation. All patients underwent cyst excision and Roux - en - Y hepaticojejunostomy and cholecystectomy. There was one death due to methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus sepsis.

  • With improving survival of children with complex congenital heart disease (CCHD), postoperative complications, like protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) are increasingly encountered. A 3-year-old girl with surgically corrected CCHD (ventricular inversion/L-transposition of the great arteries, ventricular septal defect, pulmonary atresia, postdouble switch procedure [Rastelli and Glenn]) developed chylothoraces. She was treated with pleurodesis, thoracic duct ligation and subsequently developed chylous ascites and PLE (serum albumin ${\leq}0.9g/dL$) and was malnourished, despite nutritional rehabilitation. Lymphangioscintigraphy/single-photon emission computed tomography showed lymphatic obstruction at the cisterna chyli level. A segmental chyle leak and chylous lymphangiectasia were confirmed by gastrointestinal endoscopy, magnetic resonance (MR) enterography, and MR lymphangiography. Selective glue embolization of leaking intestinal lymphatic trunks led to prompt reversal of PLE. Serum albumin level and weight gain markedly improved and have been maintained for over 3 years. Selective interventional embolization reversed this devastating lymphatic complication of surgically corrected CCHD.

  • As prenatal ultrasonography becomes popular, the number of prenatal diagnosis of congenital surgical diseases is also increasing. To evaluate the impact of antenatal ultrasonography on outcome the mortality rate in neonatal surgical emergencies was studied. The authors retrospectively reviewed 281 patients (congenital diaphragmatic hernia: 44, tracheoesophageal fistula: 78, intestinal atresia: 98, omphalocele: 28 and gastroschisis: 33 who had been managed at Seoul National University Childrens Hospital, from January 1991 to December 2000. The patients were divided into two groups; group A (1991 to 1995; 139 patients) and group B (1996 to 2000; 142 patients). These two groups were subdivided into prenatally diagnosed subgroup and postnatally diagnosed subgroup. We analyzed the changes of prenatal diagnosis rate, total mortality rate, and mortality rate of subgroups. Prenatal diagnosis rate was increased significantly in group B (Group A: 24.5 % and Group B: 45.1 %). Total mortality rate of group A was 21.6 %, and that of group B was 10.6 %, showing a significant decrease in group B. However, in both group A and B, when compared antenatally diagnosed subgroup with postnatally diagnosed subgroup, the mortality rate was lower in postnatally diagnosed subgroups but statistically not significant. The authors conclude that although prenatal diagnosis rate has been increased, prenatal diagnosis itself has not resulted in significant improvement in outcome.
