| Popis: | Infants with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) may develop late sequelae including intestinal stenoses, enteric fistulae, abscess formation, recurrent NEC, cholestasis, malabsorption, short gut syndrome, and enterocyst formation [4]. A case is reported where a child developed an enterocyst arising from the proximal aspect of a defunctionalized Hartmann's pouch 2 years after ileostomy and near-total colectomy. The patient presented with fever and abdominal pain and distension, and was successfully treated by excision of the perforated enterocyst. This rare complication demonstrates that problems may develop in a defunctionalized bowel segment long after primary therapy for NEC. |
