26
Q

What does the dorsal and ventral pancreas form? When does it fuse

A

D - head, body, tail
V - uncinate process

5th month

27
Q

What causes the accessory pancreatic duct

A

Ventral pancreatic duct that doesn’t disappear

28
Q

What is the prevalence of accessory pancreatic duct

A

1/3

29
Q

What is a pancreas divisum

A

Ventral and dorsal pancreatic duct don’t connect internally

4% incidence

30
Q

When is bile formed by hepatic cells

A

Week 12

31
Q

Bile duct is initially closed but opens via

A

Recanalization

32
Q

What happens if the bile duct doesn’t recanalize

A

Biliary atresia

33
Q

What are the extrahepatic or intrahepatic ducts replaced by in biliary atresia

A

Fibrosis

34
Q

What are the symptoms of biliary atresia

A
  • progressive neonatal jaundice soon after birth
  • white clay colored stool
  • dark colored urine
  • 12-19 month average survival
  • can be treated with liver transplant
35
Q

When does the spleen form

A

Week 5 but in week 4 there is a mesenchymal consideration in dorsal mesogastrium

36
Q

What is special about the spleen

A

It is derived from the mesoderm and not endoderm

37
Q

What does the midgut do during formation

A

Physiologically herniates at week 6 and back in at week 10

38
Q

How des the ascending and tranverse colon end up anterior

A

90 degree CCW roatation at 50 days and 180 degree CCW rotation at 70 days

39
Q

What is an omphalocele

A

Hernitation through umbilicus with peritoneal covering

40
Q

What increases the risk of omphalocele

A

Trisomy 12 or 18

41
Q

What causes omphalocele

A
  • herniated bowel doesn’t fully retract
  • lateral body bolding and fusion fails creating a wall weakness
  • CT of skin and hypaxial mm of body wall does not form normally
42
Q

What is gastroschiscis

A

Herniation through abdominal wall with no parietal peritoneum covering

43
Q

What is meckel’s diverticulum

A

Failure of yolk stalk (vitelline duct) connection to the midgut to regress

44
Q

What are the rules of 2 with meckel’s diverticulum

A
2% incidence
2x more common in males
2% have medical symptoms
Usually 2 feet proximal to terminal ileum
Usually 2 inches long
Usually 2 years of age
45
Q

What can meckel’s diverticulum cause

A

Abdominal swelling, intestinal obstruction, bowel sepsis, GI bleeding

46
Q

What is non-rotation of the midgut loop

A

Completes first 90 degree rotation but does not do the 180 degree complete rotation

47
Q

What is the consequence of non-rotation of the midgut

A

Ends up with left-sided colon and right-sided small intestine

48
Q

What is reverse gut rotation

A

Completes initial 90 CCW but goes 180 CW so the transverse colon ends up posterior to the duodenum

49
Q

What is volvulus

A

Rolled up or twisted intestines

50
Q

What are the symptoms of volvulus

A

Acute abdominal pain
Vomiting
GI bleeding

51
Q

What increases the risk of volvulus

A

Gut rotation anomalies (non-rotation or reverse rotation)

52
Q

During what month does the lumen of intestines is temporarily obliterated because of endodermal proliferation

A

5-6th

53
Q

What is duodenal stenosis

A

Partial occlusion due to ineffective recanalization (usually involves the horizontal and/or ascending parts)

54
Q

What is duodenal atresia

A

Complete occlusion of lumen

55
Q

What is intestinal stenosis or atresia commonly associated with

A

Trisomy 21 (Down’s syndrome)

56
Q

The separation of the cloaca forms what

A

Urethra and anus

57
Q

What allows the distal 1/3 of the anus to be ectodermally derived

Q

What is the failure of the anal plug to degenerate

A

Imperforated anus

Can be low, intermediate, high, or atresia
