Hiatus hernia
Herniation of part of the stomach through the esophageal hiatus of the diaphragm
Maycause pain and discomfort and predispose to refluxof gastric contents
Sliding hernias involve the cardia of the stomach sliding superiorly
Rolling hernias (less common) involve part of the fundus extending through the hiatus
Congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis
Thickening of smooth muscle of the pylorus Causes severe stenosis of the pyloric canal
Gastric emptying is greatlyreduced and typicallyleads to the presentation of projectile vomiting following a feeding More common in males, and usuallypresents 3 to 8 weeks after birth
Diagnosis made bypalpating a pyloric mass in the right upper quadrant (RUQ) during a test feeding
Intestinal volvulus
Rotation of a loop of bowel upon its mesentery Maycause acute bowel obstruction
Can compromise the vascular supplyleading to ischaemia, infarction, and eventuallynecrosis
Most commonlyoccurs in the mobile small bowel, but mayalso affect the sigmoid colon, owing to the length of its mesentery Prompt surgical decompression maybe required, although passage of a flatus tube is usuallysufficient in cases of sigmoid volvulus
