Role of conservation In case of Acute Segmental Enteritis In children
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 12
Abstract
Acute segmental enteritis (ASE) is an inflammatory disorder of small bowel that may present as a surgical emergency in children(1-3). ASE is uncommon in most parts of the world, but a relatively high incidence of this disease has been reported from some parts of India . The clinical features are vague and include acute abdominal pain, bilious vomiting, fever, abdominal distension, leukocytosis and radiological evidence of obstruction or peritonitis in a previously healthy child. Early diagnosis and conservative management carries a good prognosis, without any long term sequelae(1-5). Surgical intervention is not required in most cases and carries a high mortality rate. We report our experience with diagnosis, management and the outcome of 220 children with ASE.
