Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Giant colonic diverticula are uncommon, typically diagnosed in adults with acute diverticulitis.
  • Neonatal bowel obstruction necessitates prompt diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • A rare case of a giant colonic pseudodiverticulum presenting as bowel obstruction in a neonate is described.
  • The pseudodiverticulum was uniquely lined with uroepithelium, a finding previously unreported in colonic lesions.

Findings:

  • The presence of uroepithelium within a colonic pseudodiverticulum is unexplained.
  • Potential origins include embryonic rests or urachal remnants adhering to the colon.

Implications:

  • Resection of such lesions is recommended due to risks of infection, perforation, and obstruction.
