Congenital short bowel syndrome: a rare cause of neonatal intestinal obstruction

摘要

Congenital short bowel syndrome (CSBS) is an uncommon gastrointestinal disorder in which an unclear aetiology causes considerable intrauterine reduction in small bowel length. As a result of reduced absorptive intestinal length, chronic diarrhoea, vomiting, and consequently, failure to thrive are likely. We report a case of CSBS in a 26-day-old girl who had malrotation and a short bowel with a length of bowel from the pylorus to the ileocecal junction of approximately 40?cm. The patient underwent Ladd’s procedure, but she is still dependent on parenteral nutrition.
