Atresia and Stenosis

The GIT can be considered as a simple tube or pipe, anything which blocks the tube (at different levels) can have different effects.

Esophageal Atresia
Duodenal Atresia and Stenosis
Pyloric Stenosis
Extrahepatic Biliary Atresia
Anorectal Atresia

Duplication of tract

Persistent Vitelline Duct

Meckel's Diverticulum

Abnormal Gut Rotation

Midgut Volvulus, Situs Inversus

Organ Abnormalities

Extrahepatic Biliary Atresia, Accessory Pancreatic Tissue, Anular Pancreas, Accessory Spleen

Motility Disorders

Hirschprung's disease - abnormalities of neural crest migration.

Related Abnormalities

Abdominal Wall Defects

gastroschisis is a developmental abnormality occurs due to an abdominal wall defect, that allows the evisceration of the intestine.

Cleft lip

An abnormality of face development leading to an opening in the upper lip. Clefting of the lip and or palate occurs with 300+ different abnormalities. Depending on many factors, this cleft may extend further into the oral cavity leading to a cleft palate. In most cases clefting of the lip and palate can be repaired by surgery. (More? Face - Abnormalities | Face Notes | | Head Notes | Medline Plus - Cleft Lip and Palate)

Cleft palate

An abnormality of face development leading to an opening in the palate, the roof of the oral cavity between the mouth and the nose. Clefting of the lip and or palate occurs with 300+ different abnormalities. In most cases clefting of the lip and palate can be repaired by surgery. (More? Face - Abnormalities | Face Notes | | Head Notes | Medline Plus - Cleft Lip and Palate)

Galactosemia

An enzyme deficiency disorder. The enzyme galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase metabolizes galactose in milk sugar. (More? Prenatal Diagnosis | Neonatal Screening | MedlinePlus - Galactosemia)

Abnormalities and Development

How these abnormalities may be generated in development.
When they first occur.
How can we detect these abnormalites.
Do the abnormalites have a direct or indirect effect on the GIT.
How serious to the embryo, fetus, newborn, child and adult are these conditions.
What therapeutics are available for these conditions.
