Congenital segmental dilatation of ascending colon with distal microcolon: A diagnostic dilemma
Abstract
A 5-day-old male presented
with bilious vomiting, a grossly distended abdomen, and passage of a small
amount of stool. The anal opening was at a normal position. X-ray abdomen
showed a large bowel loop with a single air-fluid level occupying more than
half of the abdominal width. On laparotomy, the ascending colon was dilated to
form a pouch-like structure, and the ileum and appendix were opening into it.
Colon distal to pouch was present as microcolon. Histopathology of the dilated
segment was suggestive of congenital segmental dilatation (CSD). In CSD, the
distal bowel is of normal caliber. This is a rare case of CSD of ascending
colon with distal microcolon.
