This document discusses several digestive disorders that can affect newborns. Meconium plug syndrome refers to a functional colonic obstruction caused by a meconium plug, usually in the left colon. Meconium peritonitis occurs when the bowel ruptures before birth, releasing meconium into the abdominal cavity and causing inflammation. Twenty percent of infants with meconium peritonitis will have vomiting, dilated bowels visible on x-rays, and require surgery. It can sometimes be diagnosed prenatally via ultrasound showing calcifications in the abdominal cavity. The document also lists ICD-10 codes for various newborn digestive disorders including necrotizing enterocolitis which is classified into stages of severity.
Digestive system disorders of newborn
- 1. DIGESTIVE SYSTEM DISORDERS OF NEWBORN
- 2. INTRODUCTION Meconium plug syndrome refers to a functional colonic obstruction in a newborn due to an obstructing meconium plug. It is usually transient and affects the left colon with meconium plugging the bowel distal to this segment. In this situation, it is also termed the small left colon syndrome.
- 3. MECONIUM PERITONITIS Meconium peritonitis refers to rupture of the bowel prior to birth, resulting in fetal stool (meconium) escaping into the surrounding space (peritoneum) leading to inflammation (peritonitis).
- 4. DIAGNOSIS Twenty percent of infants born with meconium peritonitis will have vomiting and dilated bowels on x-rays which necessitates surgery. Meconium peritonitis is sometimes diagnosed on prenatal ultrasound where it appears as calcifications within the peritoneum.
