The authors discuss a case of hereditary angioneurotic edema in a child presenting with recurrent episodes of colocolic intussusception, each successfully reduced by air enema. Although additional manifestations of vasogenic edema are potential risks of the procedure, these were not encountered.
Acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy typically occurs in infants less than 2 years of age and follows a benign clinical course. Gastrointestinal complications are unusual in this entity, in contrast to children with Henoch-Schönlein purpura, who are predominantly older than 2 years and at risk for
Intrauterine intussusception has been implicated as a potential cause of intestinal atresia but has not been associated previously with nonimmune hydrops fetalis. We report a patient with a significant family history of intussuception who had intrauterine intussusception associated with nonimmune
BACKGROUND Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is an autosomal disease caused either by deficiency or presence of a non-functioning C1 inhibitor. The lack or non-functionality of said inhibitors leads to activation of an inflammatory cascade, which result in cutaneous and mucosal edema. Most patients with
Gallbladder disease in children today is being diagnosed increasingly because of better awareness of its existence and of improved diagnostic capability. A case is presented to describe an unusual pathologic variant termed "acute hydrops" of the gallbladder. This entity occurs specifically in
Acute hydrops of the gallbladder (AHGB) is a rare paediatric disease being diagnosed with increased frequency due to its association with other illnesses and the availability of ultrasonography. The symptoms and signs of AHGB include abdominal pain, vomiting, abdominal mass and/or tenderness. As
Intussusception occurs when a mass in the bowel is pulled forward by normal peristalsis, with resultant invagination of the involved bowel wall. In the absence of a mass, intussusception may be caused by functional disturbances without gross mural abnormality. Colo-colonic intussusception in adult
Experiences of the diagnosis and treatment of 41 patients with intussusception are presented. The most common signs and symptoms upon presentation were vomiting (83%), colicky pain (83%), rectal bleeding (66%) and abdominal mass (51%). All four features occurred together in only 20% of cases.
We report the case of a 2-year-old boy who developed a small bowel intussusception during treatment failure of his first episode of nephrotic syndrome. Despite the absence of typical symptoms other than abdominal pain, the intussusception was diagnosed by ultrasonography and computed tomography and
The position of the apex in intussusception indirectly reflects the length of the intussusceptum in the majority of cases in which the intussusception begins in the region of the terminal ileum. The relationship of the apex to the duration of symptoms and the ease of enema reduction suggests that
Appendiceal intussusception is a very rare condition with an estimated incidence of 0.01%. Most cases present in adults with chronic waxing and waning of symptoms over a period of weeks to months. We report a case of a 39-year-old Caucasian female with a 5-week history of worsening right-sided
A 35-year-old man attended our hospital with complaining of epigastric pain and vomiting. He was diagnosed with bowel intussusception based on the target sign revealed in the upper jejunum by abdominal computed tomography. However, the cause of the intussusception was not clear. Insertion of an
This report describes our experience of intussusception due to intestinal anisakiasis which was treated by laparoscopy-assisted surgery. The unique sonographic findings of this complication were a pseudokidney sign and a target sign with an edema of Kerckring's folds in the intussusceptum. Surgeons
A 21-year-old man with a history of hereditary angioedema presented with protracted abdominal pain which failed to respond to infusion of C1 inhibitor concentrate. Evaluation by CT scan revealed extensive colorectal intussusception requiring surgical intervention. Under replacement therapy with C1
BACKGROUND
Attempted nonsurgical reduction of ileocolic intussusceptions after 48 hours is controversial because of the low probability of reduction and an increased risk of perforation. We sought to retrospectively identify computed tomography (CT) criteria that may help to predict bowel viability
