Intussusception produces intestinal obstruction, and it may produce bowel ischemia or infarction by trapping mesenteric vessels along with the affected segment. In some cases, the intussusception may be reduced by diagnostic barium enema.
Adhesions (choice A) can cause bowel obstruction following surgery or inflammatory bowel diseases.
Congenital pyloric stenosis (choice B) typically presents as projectile vomiting in a 3-4 week old baby.
Hirschsprung's disease (choice C), caused by absence of ganglion cells in the distal bowel, is usually diagnosed in the first few days of life when there is a failure to pass meconium.
Volvulus (choice E) is due to rotation of bowel segments. This is usually a disease of the elderly. |
