Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We present a case of extensive gastric heterotopia involving the small intestine associated with congenital short bowel syndrome and malrotation. The infant showed a normal mesenteric artery, without signs of "apple peel" deformity. Gastric heterotopia extended from the duodenum to the mid-ileum involving the short bowel. Gastric mucosa heterotopia may involve any segment of the gastrointestinal tract. It can be associated with pancreatic heterotopia and Meckel diverticulum. However, our case showed involvement of two-thirds of the small intestine without pancreatic heterotopia. To our knowledge, this is the first report of gastric heterotopia with congenital short gut syndrome and malrotation.
