Neonatal bowel obstruction (NBO) is the first presentation of cystic fibrosis (CF) in approximately 15–20% of cases and is most commonly due to meconium ileus (MI) in this cohort. Contrast enema (CE) is a diagnostic tool which can help discern NBO etiology with variable accuracy. CE can also be a therapeutic tool in cases of simple MI. In this study, we describe our experience with CE in diagnosis and management of meconium ileus and other pathologies causing bowel obstruction in these patients. Read More

Final Pr. ID: Paper #: 098
Ileocolic intussusception is a common cause of intestinal obstruction in young children. Most patients undergo image-guided enema reduction followed by a surgical reduction in enema fails. Many factors associated with decreased enema success have been described in the literature, although a concise scoring system to identify patients who are at risk for surgical intervention and complications does not exist. The goal of this project was to develop a scoring system to identify patients who are at increased risk for enema failure and surgical complications. Read More
