@entity1 @entity39 @entity9775 @entity6675 @entity1321 @entity1146
PURPOSE: @entity9775 is a rare cause of @entity1321 in the neonate. A review of the management and outcome of @entity1 with @entity9775 was performed. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of the complete records of @entity1 treated for @entity9775 during the 30-year period. RESULTS: A total of 14 newborns were treated. Seven @entity1 suffered from an isolated @entity9775 (group 1). In the other seven @entity1 (group 2), @entity9775 was either associated with additional intestinal @entity1146 (n = 2), or @entity6675 (n = 5). Gestational age and birth weight were significantly lower in @entity1 from group 2 compared to group 1 (40    0.5 vs. 37    1 weeks (P < 0.05); and 3,478    208 vs. 2,626    242 g (P < 0.01), respectively). The first surgical procedure was performed in all newborns within 24 h after birth. All but one @entity1 from group 1 received primary colostomies at the level of @entity9775 , followed by end-to-side anastomoses. All but one @entity1 from group 2 needed ileocoecal resection due to bowel @entity39 . No @entity1 died in group 1, whereas three @entity1 died in group 2. CONCLUSIONS: Isolated @entity9775 is amenable with a short hospital stay and an excellent outcome. In contrast, @entity1 with @entity9775 associated with @entity6675 present a serious clinical challenge.
