part of congenital anomalies as they constitute one of the main causes
of mortality in children. We aimed in our study to determine the most
common digestive anomaly associated with other organ anomalies.
Our study also sought to ascertain the most frequent associated
anomaly in our patients and its connection to mortality, the average
age of diagnosis, prenatal diagnosis and gestacional age. The study
was conducted in two phases and includes a total of 273 children
diagnosed with Congenital anomalies of the digestive tract, presented
at the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit in UHC Mother Teresa. The first
phase, retrospective, includes 137 patients during the period January
2006 – December 2010. The second phase of the study, prospective,
includes 136 patients from January 2011 - March 2015. The most
frequent digestive anomaly in patients with associated anomalies was
Anal atresia (26.70%), followed by Esophageal atresia (21.70%).
Cardiac congenital anomaly was the most frequent founded in our
study, 56 cases (20.50%). In our study, Meconium ileus, Intestinal
malrotation and Congenital megacolon are the most associated with
other anomalies (100%). It is important to identify cases associated to
other congenital anomalies because they condition patient’s
managment and prognosis. Anomalies that are often associated with
other defects have shown early clinical symptoms and require more
time and effort for correction. | | Keywords : | | | congenital digestive anomalies, newborn babies, age of
