Abstract

Ectopic gastric mucosa in the small bowel not associated with Meckel's diverticulum, is rare. Most of the few cases found in the literature are symptomatic and complicated. We report a case of a three month-old baby, the youngest patient reported thus far. He had ectopic gastric mucosa in a polypoid lesion of the mid-ileum, which caused ileo-ileal intussusception.

Zusammenfassung

Der Fall eines 3 Monate alten Babys mit einer ileo-ilealen Invagination aufgrund ektoper, gastrischer Mukosa im Dünndarm wird beschrieben. Bei dem Kind lag kein Meckelches Divertikel vor. Fälle mit ektoper gastrischer Mukosa im Dünndarm sind sehr selten, nur 17 symptomatische und 8 asymptomatische Fälle wurden bisher beschrieben.
