description INTRODUCTION[|]The aim of this study was to review the management of pediatric cases of vitelline duct pathology (VDP) detected surgically or incidentally during the neonatal period and the outcomes.[¤]METHODS[|]The data of newborns who were symptomatic and underwent VDP resection or who were incidentally diagnosed with VDP at a single institution between 1985 and 2015 were retrospectively analyzed in terms of age, sex, clinical features, treatment, perioperative findings, ectopic tissue pathology, and postoperative follow-up information.[¤]RESULTS[|]Among the 36 newborns enrolled in this study, 26 were male and 10 were female (2.6: 1). The median weight was 2400 g (range: 800–3090 g). In 16 cases (14 males and 2 females; 7: 1) the VDP was surgically repaired. Pathological evaluation indicated that 43% (n=7) of the cases had ectopic gastric mucosa. VDP was incidentally discovered in 12 males and 8 females (1.5: 1). VDP was removed in 10 cases (50%) and left intact in others. Ectopic gastric mucosa was observed in 10% of the VDP removal cases. Ectopic gastric tissue was more prevalent in the surgical VDP cases than in the incidentally discovered and VDP removal cases (p<0.05). Male predominance was greater in the surgically repaired cases than in the incidentally discovered cases (p<0.05). One patient whose VDP was discovered incidentally was admitted 3 years later with obstruction due to intussusception caused by Meckel's diverticulum, and 1 patient was admitted with rectal bleeding at 11 years of age.[¤]DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION[|]Symptomatic VDP in the newborn demonstrates a significant gender difference. Symptomatic cases are more likely to have ectopic gastric tissue than non-symptomatic cases. Incidentally detected cases without removal should be followed closely for future complications.[¤]
