Acute, emergent and post-surgical disorders involving the pediatric jejunum.
Purpose or Case Report: Pediatric pathology involving the jejunum is more common than one might initially expect. Early recognition of the important imaging characteristic, atypical findings, and useful imaging tools/techniques in the evaluation of jejunal pathology is important in prompt diagnosis and management of these patients.
In this educational exhibit we will present a series of cases involving pathology of the jejunum encountered in the pediatric population. We will focus on important pathologies affecting a difficult to image and sometimes forgotten portion of the intestine.
A range of acute, emergent and post-surgical cases are presented. Using an interactive, quiz based approach we will discuss the following pediatric pathologies that may affect the jejunum of pediatric patients from neonates to teenagers with multimodality imaging and pathologic examples: Atresia Meconium plug syndrome Pneumatosis Enteritis Foreign body Small bowel intussusception Lymphoma Ischemia/shock Hernia Graft versus host disease Trauma Vasculitis Methods & Materials: Results: Conclusions:
