First one with correct answer with justification win.

You are consulted on a two-day old full term infant with abdominal distention and the following contrast enema is obtained.

[size=20px]A moderate amount of meconium passes but distention persists.

The most appropriate next step in this infant with distension is

A observation.

B repeat contrast enema.

C laparotomy for enterotomy and irrigation.

D laparotomy for ostomy creation.

E laparotomy for bowel resection with enteroenterostomy.[/size]

correct answer will be submitted after 48 hrs, please submit answer + justification

A term baby is born with abdominal distension and bilious vomiting. Abdominal X-rays reveal dilated loops of bowel without air fluid levels, and a water-soluble contrast enema demonstrates a microcolon without contrast reflux into the terminal ileum. A laparotomy is performed on this stable baby with findings as shown. The bowel is in continuity; however, there is an obvious calibre change in the mid ileum, which is associated with viscid, doughy intraluminal content.

[size=20px]The most appropriate next step in management is:

A Seromuscular biopsies for ganglion cells

B End ileostomy above caliber transition

C Enterotomy with meconium evacuation facilitated by 20% N-acetylcysteine (Mucomist) irrigation, with Bishop-Koop ileostomy

D Enterotomy with meconium evacuation facilitated by 5% N-acetylcysteine (Mucomist) irrigation with enterotomy closure

E Loop ileostomy below caliber transition[/size]
