Recurrent jejunal perforations in a 70-year-old woman were linked to a congenital defect in the jejunal muscularis propria. Surgical intervention proved effective, with no long-term gastrointestinal issues reported.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Spontaneous jejunal perforations are rare, particularly recurrent cases.
  • Investigating the underlying etiology is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • A 70-year-old female presented with two distinct spontaneous jejunal perforations over two months.
  • Initial treatment involved debridement and suture closure, followed by resection and anastomosis for the second event.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination of the resected jejunum revealed a significantly thinner muscularis propria.
  • This finding suggests a congenital abnormality of the jejunal wall as the likely cause.

Implications:

  • Congenital defects in the muscularis propria may predispose individuals to spontaneous gastrointestinal perforations.
