The transverse colon is an exceptional location of intestinal duplication. Perforated duplications are rarely described in neonates. Meconium peritonitis (MP) can originate from prenatal perforated intestinal duplication. The authors report a case of a baby girl with prenatal diagnosis of MP. Rapid worsening of clinical aspects at birth and the presence of a pneumoperitoneum on systematic abdominal plain radiographs led to urgent surgery on the 1st day of life. Laparotomy showed a perforated necrotizing tubular duplication of the transverse colon. Removal of the duplication followed by limited segmental colonic resection and double colostomy were carried out. Follow-up was uneventful. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
