NEONATAL BILIOUS
VOMITING- Part 1
A PROBLEM ORIENTED
APPROACH
Dr.B.Selvaraj MS;Mch; FICS;
Professor of Surgery
Melaka Manipal Medical College
Melaka 75150 Malaysia
OBJECTIVES
To discuss the differential diagnosis of
biliary emesis in neonates
To do appropriate workup to confirm the
diagnosis
To select the various treatment options
To make you confident in managing a
newborn with bilious vomiting
Neonatal Bilious Vomiting-Causes
Meconium Peritonitis
Necrotising Enterocolitis
Hirschsprung’s Disease
Anorectal Malformation
Rarely Mesentric Cyst &
Intestinal Duplication
Incarcerated inguinal hernia
Duodenal atresia/stenosis
Annular Pancreas
Malrotation&MGV
Intestinal Atresia:
Jejunal&Ileal
Meconium Ileus
Meconium Plug
Neonatal Bilious Vomiting-Causes
•MALROTATION & MGV
•MESENTRIC CYST& DUPLICATION
CYST
•CONGENITAL BANDS LIKE VI DUCT
BANDS
•MECONIUM ILEUS
•MECONIUM PLUG
•MECONIUM PERITONITIS
EXTRINSIC
•DUODENAL ATRESIA/STENOSIS
•JEJUNAL/ILEAL ATRESIA
•HIRSCHSPRUNG’S DISEASE
•NECROTISING ENTEROCOLITIS
CAUSES
MURAL
INTRA
LUMINAL
DUODENAL
ATRESIA/STENOSIS
Failure of vacuolisation & recanalisation of solidcord state of
duodenum at 7 to 10 wks of intrauterine life
Proximal Stomach & Duodenum get dilated and hypertrophied
Bilious vomiting in Postampullary type
Failure to pass meconium
Minimal upper abdominal distension
Hydramnios in mother& Down’s syndrome in the child
DUODENAL ATRESIA/STENOSIS- Types
1. Membrane Type
a. Simple
b. Fenestrated
c. Windsock Anomaly
2. Complete Mural discontinuity with
connecting fibrous cord
3. Complete Mural discontinuity without
connecting fibrous cord
DUODENAL ATRESIA/STENOSIS-
Types
Duodenal Atresia/StenosisWorkup
Antenatal USG Abdomen
Double Bubble appearance
Postnatal AXR
Classical Double Bubble
Appearance
Kimura’s Diamond Shaped
DUODENODUODENOSTOMY
Duodenal Atresia- Windsock anomaly
Duodenal Atresia- Post op care
Dysmotility due to Megaduodenum may
require a period of TPN
Transanastomotic feeding tube may obviate
the need for TPN
Graded introduction of enteral feeds as
bowel motility recovers
Prophylactic antibiotics for 48 hrs
ANNULAR PANCREAS
A rim of pancreatic tissue encircles 2nd part of
duodenum
A defect in rotation and fusion of ventral
analgae with the dorsal analgae of pancreas
Clinical picture and radiological findings are
akin to Duodenal Atresia
Treatment also same as that of Duodenal
Atresia
ANNULAR PANCREAS
PREDUODENAL PORTAL VEIN
MALROTATION- Embryology
Physiological Umbilical Hernia in Fetus
MALROTATION
MALROTATION- Different Degrees
MALROTATION
Any defect/ deviation of normal midgut
rotation leads to Malrotation
60% of Malrotation patients present in
neonatal period
Most common type of Malrotation is caused
by Ladd’s band due to arrest of rotation at
180*
Midgut volvulus is due to narrow duodenocolic
isthmus
MALROTATION
Bilious Vomiting
Passing scanty meconium
Upper abdominal distension
In Midgut volvulusBleeding PR,abdominal
distension and vomiting
MALROTATION- IMAGING STUDIES
AXR- “ Double Bubble Appearance”
Upper GI Series:
In Simple MalrotationAbsence of C loop; DJ
flexure & jejunal loops on the right side of abdomen
In MGV “Corkscrew Appearance”
USG with Doppler scan:
Reversed position of SMA & SMV
MALROTATION- IMAGING STUDIES
Double Bubble
Appearance Corkscrew Appearance
MALROTATION- IMAGING STUDIES
Absence of C Loop
Jejunum on Rt side
Reversed position of
SMA & SMV
MALROTATION- Ladd’s Procedure
Division of Ladd’s band
Widening of Duodenocolic
isthmus
Malrotation with Midgut Volvulus
Derotation of Volvulus
If bowel is viable leave it
If bowel not viable
Resection and EEA
If bowel viability is
doubtful Second look
laparotomy
Complication Short bowel
syndrome
JEJUNAL & ILEAL
ATRESIA
Due to mesenteric vascular accident during
fetal life
Incidence 1 in 3000 livebirths
Present within 24hrs with bilious
vomiting,not passed meconium & abdominal
distension
Proximal obstruction earlier & more
severe is the bilious vomiting
Distal obstruction more severe is the
abdominal distension
JEJUNAL & ILEAL ATRESIA
Types
JEJUNAL & ILEAL ATRESIA
Types
JEJUNAL & ILEAL ATRESIA-
AXR
Jejunal Atresia
Triple Bubble Appearance
ILeal atresia
Multiple airfluid levels
JEJUNAL & ILEAL ATRESIA
Barium Enema
Unused Microcolon
JEJUNAL ATRESIA- Tapering Jejunoplasty
End to back Anastomosis
Jejunal & Ileal Atresia- Operative Techniques
NECROTISING ENTEROCOLITIS
Disease of paradoxes- unknown etiology
Most likely mechanism vascular compromise
to GIT resulting bacterial invasion of portal
venous system
Common in premature babies
Occurs during 1st or 2nd wk of life after starting
oral feedings in babies weighing < 1.5 kgs
Distal Ileum & Rt colon are commonly
involved
NECROTISING ENTEROCOLITIS
NECROTISING ENTEROCOLITIS
Affected bowel Dilated with mucosal necrosis
and subserosal collection of gas
Bilious vomiting,abdominal distension,rectal
bleeding and/or diarrhea
Abdominal wall edema, erythema and fixed
persistent loop of bowel
AXR Pneumatosis intestinalis, Gas in portal
vein and/or Free air in peritoneal cavity
NECROTISING
ENTEROCOLITIS- Staging
NECROTISING ENTEROCOLITIS
NECROTISING ENTEROCOLITIS-
AXR
Pneumatosis Intestinalis Portal Venous Gas—
Pneumobilia
NECROTISING ENTEROCOLITIS
Management
Start aggressive medical treatment
immediately
Keep NPO,NGT aspiration & TPN
Broadspectrum Antibiotics
Physical, radiographic and ultrasonographic
evaluation Q6H for 1st 48 hrs in NICU
NECROTISING
ENTEROCOLITIS
Indications for Surgery
Pneumoperitoneum & signs of peritonitis
Edematous & Erythematous anterior abdominal wall
Fixed persistent loop of bowel
Portal venous gas- Pneumobilia
Sudden deterioration of baby during medical
treatment
NECROTISING ENTEROCOLITIS
Surgery
Operative strategy depends on extend of involvement of
bowel
If perforation is small Direct suture closure or re
section & primary anastomosis is adequate
In extensive bowel necrosis Remove all gross
gangrenous bowel& do enterostomy
In doubtful bowel viability Second look laparotomy
In low birth weight infants with poor general
condition do just peritoneal drainage
