  • Overview
    https://upload.medbullets.com/topic/103024/images/doublebubble1.jpg
    Double Bubble Sign due to duodenal atresia
    • Developmental derivatives
      • foregut (supplied by celiac trunk) → pharynx to duodenum
      • midgut (supplied by the superior mesentric artery) → duodenum to transverse colon
      • hindgut (supplied by the inferior mesentric artery)→ distal transverse colon to rectum
    • GI embryologic timeline
      • week 6
        • midgut herniates through umbilical ring
  • Pathology
    • Duodenal atresia
      • due to failure to recanalize lumen of intestines
      • associated with trisomy 21
      • "double bubble" sign
      • NOTE: atresia is occlusion of the lumen of the intestines and stenosis is narrowing of the lumen
    • Jejunal, ileal, and colonic atresia
      • due to vascular accident ("apple peel/corkscrew" atresia )
      • segment of bowel wrapped around a remnant of mesentary
    • Congenital pyloric stenosis
      • hypertrophy of muscalaris externa causing the pylorus lumen to narrow
        • palpable "olive" mass in epigastric region
        • food obstructs in pyloric region
        • nonbilious and projectile vomiting at about 2 weeks of age
      • treatment: surgery
      • incidence: 1/600; mainly first born males
    • Pancreas divisum- failed fusion of the ventral and dorsal pancreatic buds
