ABSTRACT
Backgrounds: Congenital short bowel syndrome associated with malrotation and intestinal dysmotility is a rare condition. We describe a new case of this syndrome without malrotation
Case report: Mootez is born from consanguineous parents without any familial histories. He presented with bilious vomiting at the age of ten days. The radiological exams show no sign of intestinal obstruction. Laparotomy revealed a short small bowel measuring 40 cm without malrotation. The appendice showed no anatomopathologic abnormalities. After surgery, recurrent bilious vomiting persist. He died at tow months of age from severe denutrition
Conclusion: a precocious clinical onset and intestinal dysmotility seem to be associated with a poor prognosis. The cause of congenital short small intestine is not known. A recessive inheritance is suggested
ABSTRACT
We studied five cases of monochorial pregnancies complicated by a single intrauterine death. Our purpose was to evaluate the contribution of MR imaging in the evaluation of perinatal hypoxic-ischemic cerebral injury in the surviving twin compared with ante and postnatal ultrasonography findings. Intrauterine death of one twin occurred at a mean of 28 week's gestation. MRI was performed three weeks after. In all cases, there was no neurological lesions. MR findings were always confirmed by the postnatal follow-up [examination and ultrasonography]
