Gastroschisis, ileal atresia, and Hirschsprung's disease in a newborn: the first reported case

J Pediatr Surg. 2012 Nov;47(11):2134-6. doi: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2012.09.040.

Abstract

Gastroschisis and intestinal atresia are rare congenital gastrointestinal tract anomalies that coincide with each other in 5%-15% of cases. In contrast, there are only two reported cases of Hirschsprung's with simultaneous gastroschisis. We report the first case of gastroschisis, ileal atresia, and Hirschsprung's disease in a newborn. Despite the high morbidity and mortality associated with simultaneous congenital gastrointestinal tract anomalies, surgical management of these patients is feasible.
