Multiple intestinal atresia with apple peel syndrome: successful treatment by five end-to-end anastomoses, jejunostomy, and transanastomotic silicone stent

J Pediatr Surg. 2003 Aug;38(8):1250-2. doi: 10.1016/s0022-3468(03)00281-1.

Abstract

The association of apple peel bowel with multiple intestinal atresias is a rare event. The authors report a case of a 2.200-g newborn affected by this uncommon condition. The interruptions of small bowel continuity were treated successfully with 5 end-to-end anastomoses and with the construction of 2 ostomies. A gastroduodenal silicone tube (Vygon S.A., Ecouen, France) was used as an intraluminal stent.
