A rare case of infant bilious vomiting was observed in a 7-month-old boy with a large Hutch diverticulum. This condition caused abdominal distention and lack of output, highlighting a unique presentation in pediatric medicine.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Pediatric Urology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Bilious vomiting in infants can indicate serious gastrointestinal or urological issues.
  • Prompt diagnosis is crucial for effective management of pediatric surgical emergencies.

Observation:

  • A 7-month-old male infant presented with bilious vomiting, abdominal distention, anorexia, and absent stool/urinary output.
  • Imaging revealed a mass effect on the rectosigmoid and a large urinary bladder diverticulum.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with a large Hutch diverticulum, a rare congenital anomaly of the urinary bladder.
  • The diverticulum's narrow neck likely contributed to the obstructive symptoms mimicking gastrointestinal distress.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering urinary tract anomalies in the differential diagnosis of infant vomiting.
  • Early identification of Hutch diverticulum can prevent complications and guide appropriate surgical or urological intervention.
  • Highlights the need for comprehensive diagnostic workups in infants with non-specific abdominal symptoms.
