Report of a Case of Annular Pancreas of the Newborn in Two Consecutive Siblings

Abstract

Annular pancreas presenting as high intestinal obstruction in the newborn has been reported on numerous occasions.14 The purpose of this paper is to report the occurrence of annular pancreas causing duodenal obstruction in the newborn in two consecutive siblings. Case Reports Case 1, D.B., a male, was born August 31, 1966. The mother was gravida III, para II. Her expected date of confinement was September 12, 1966. The pregnancy had been uneventful except that she had minimal polyhydramnios. The mother had been on no medications during her pregnancy except a prenatal vitamin and iron. On August 31, 1966 the mother underwent an elective cesarean section because of previous cesarean sections which were performed for cephalo-pelvic disproportion.

Exome sequencing findings in children with annular pancreas

“…There are case reports of an affected mother and children (Hendricks & Sybert, 1991;Jackson & Apostolides, 1978;MacFadyen & Young, 1987;Rogers et al, 1993). Affected siblings have been reported as well (Claviez et al, 1995;Lainakis et al, 2005;Montgomery et al, 1971). In addition, AP has also been associated with syndromes such as Down syndrome (Stoll et al, 2015;Torfs & Christianson, 1998), Jacobsen syndrome (Fernandez Gonzalez et al, 2002), VACTERL (Reutter et al, 2014), 1p36 deletion syndrome (Minami et al, 2005), Mitchell-Riley syndrome (Zegre Amorim et al, 2015), and 22q11.2 deletion (Spineli-Silva et al, 2018).…”
