Hydrocolpos with peritonitis in the newborn

I Gupta, A J Barson

    Journal of Clinical Pathology
    |July 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Two newborns with hydrocolpos experienced intestinal obstruction, with one case complicated by intrauterine peritonitis and the other by Hirschsprung's disease. This highlights rare causes of neonatal intestinal obstruction beyond rectal atresia.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Medical Genetics

    Background:

    • Hydrocolpos, a rare condition, can lead to neonatal intestinal obstruction.
    • Rectal atresia is the most common cause of intestinal obstruction in infants with hydrocolpos.

    Observation:

    • Two neonates presented with hydrocolpos and intestinal obstruction shortly after birth.
    • One infant experienced intrauterine peritonitis due to cecal compression, leading to death.
    • The surviving infant developed a cecal perforation secondary to Hirschsprung's disease.

    Findings:

    • Neither case involved rectal atresia, challenging the typical presentation of intestinal obstruction in hydrocolpos.
    • The co-occurrence of hydrocolpos and polydactyly in one infant suggests a potential autosomal recessive genetic link.

    Implications:

    • These cases broaden the understanding of potential complications and etiologies of neonatal intestinal obstruction in hydrocolpos.
    • The findings emphasize the need for early diagnosis and management of hydrocolpos and associated conditions.
    • Further research into the genetic basis of hydrocolpos, particularly when associated with polydactyly, is warranted.
