Abstract
A twelve-day-old neonate presented with persistent bilious vomiting and dehydration. A transverse supra-umbilical laparotomy was done. Later, he died and autopsy was done. A jejunoileal segment and several other ileal segments were collected. The jejunoileal segment was dilated. It measured 11 cm in length and had a blind end. One of the ileal segments measured 16 cm in length. Ileum showed multiple small diverticulae at the mesenteric border and each diverticula measured 3 to 4 mm in length. Lumen of ileum appeared collapsed or strictured. Further, the lumen of diverticulae contained soft eosinophilic material. He was finally diagnosed as a case of jejunoileal atresia associated with multiple terminal ileal diverticulae.
Keywords: Jejunoileal dilatation multiple ileal type IV diverticulosis.
