Intussusception in a term newborn with duct-dependent congenital heart disease
Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2013, Vol 40, Issue 1
Abstract
Prostaglandin E1 infusion is widely used to maintain patency of ductus arteriosus in newborns with duct-dependent congenital heart disease until surgery. Prostaglandin E1 is a lifesaving drug, but it has many side effects including fever, apnea, bradycardia, hypotension, convulsion, edema, and cortical hyperostosis. The gastrointestinal tract has not been recognized as a major site of serious adverse effects of prostaglandin E1 infusion, although diarrhea is a well-recognized side effect that usually responds to dose reduction. In this report, we present a case of intestinal intussusception presumably induced by prostaglandin therapy in a newborn with duct-dependent congenital heart disease. Key words: Prostaglandin E1, newborn, gastrointestinal
