Abstract
OBJECTIVE Congenital segmental dilatation of the intestine (CSDI) is a rare gastrointestinal condition. We conducted a scoping review through MEDLINE and Google Scholar, collecting data from 1959 through August 2020 to better understand this peculiar disease. METHODS The clinical and pathological features of 150 patients were reviewed. RESULTS The mean age was 25.9 days, and 61.3% of patients were male. An antenatal diagnosis was made in 15.3% of patients. Predominant symptoms included abdominal distension (83.9%) and vomiting (61.3%). Pallor and anemia were associated with ileal CSDI. The most common sites of the lesion were the ileum (56%) and colon (27.3%). Associated anomalies occurred in 57.3% of the patients, of which the most common included other abnormalities of the digestive system (69.8%), abdominal wall (19.8%), and cardiovascular system (11.6%). Resection and anastomosis was performed in 83.3% of patients. Postoperative complications occurred in 10%. Normal ganglion cells were commonly found (97.3%), while muscle layer hypertrophy and atrophy were found in 14.7% and 13.3% of the patients, respectively. Abnormal interstitial cells of Cajal were identified in four patients. Death occurred in 12.7% of patients. Demise was significantly associated with the duodenal location of CSDI (Mantel-Cox test, p = 0.002). CONCLUSION CSDI remains poorly understood, and mortality is associated chiefly with its duodenal location. Further research is needed, and biorepositories should be promptly set up to study this disease in the future better.

Abstract
Objective: Congenital segmental intestinal dilatation (SID) and bronchogenic cyst in the abdomen are two uncommon and different pathologies. We report a bronchogenic cyst associated with segmental intestinal dilatation. Case: A 2-day-old 3300 g term infant developed bilious vomiting. A jejunoileal segment with a diameter of 10 cm was detected at surgery. Histologically, the wall musculature and enteric plexus of the segmentally enlarged small intestine stained normally for CD117 and negative for calretinin. A bronchogenic cyst of 3 cm in diameter was centered on the mesenteric border of the dilated intestine. Conclusion: SID has a normal staining pattern for CD117 (for interstitial cells of Cajal) and negative for calretinin. it would suggest that the innervation is defective, may be associated with a bronchogenic cyst in the newborn, causing obstruction, requiring surgery.

Abstract
Background and Aim Congenital segmental intestinal dilatation (CSID) is a neonatal condition with unclear etiology and pathogenesis. Typically, the newborn with CSID presents with a limited (circumscribed) bowel dilatation, an abrupt transition between normal and dilated segments, neither intrinsic nor extrinsic perilesional obstruction, and no aganglionosis or neuronal intestinal dysplasia. We aimed to review this disease and the long-term follow-up at the Children's Hospital of the Medical University of Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria. Study Design Retrospective 25-year review of medical charts, electronic files, and histopathology of neonates with CSID. Results We identified four infants (three girls and one boy) with CSID. The affected areas included duodenum, ileum, ascending colon, and sigmoid colon. Noteworthy, all patients presented with a cardiovascular defect, of which two required multiple cardiac surgical interventions. Three out of the four patients recovered completely. To date, the three infants are alive. Conclusion This is the first report of patients with CSID and cardiovascular defects. The clinical and surgical intervention for CSID also requires a thorough cardiologic evaluation in these patients. CSID remains an enigmatic entity pointing to the need for joint forces in identifying common loci for genetic investigations.

Abstract
Segmental intestinal dilatation (SID) is a rare gastrointestinal disorder characterized by marked bowel dilatation and can result in signs of intestinal obstruction, abdominal pain and gastrointestinal bleeding. SID is seen most commonly in pediatric patients, with most cases being reported in neonates and infants. Definitive treatment is resection of the dilated segment of bowel with primary anastomosis. This article describes a rare case of SID in an adult patient—a 26-year-old female who presented with chronic abdominal pain. The patient experienced complete resolution of symptoms following surgical resection.

Abstract
Congenital segmental dilatation (CSD) of the intestine is a rare developmental anomaly characterized by sharply demarcated dilatation of a gastrointestinal segment and may present with intestinal obstruction. We report three cases of CSD of the intestine in neonates with varied presentation. First patient was mistaken as pneumoperitoneum on abdominal radiograph, which led to initial abdominal drain placement. The 2nd patient was a case of anorectal malformation associated with congenital pouch colon (CPC) and CSD of ileum; and the third case presented as neonatal intestinal obstruction and found to have CSD of ileum. All the patients were successfully managed in our department.

Abstract
Segmental intestinal dilatation (SID) is a rare developmental anomaly of the midgut, characterized by sharply demarcated dilatation of a gastrointestinal segment with clinical findings of intestinal obstruction. Although morphologic criteria for SID are clearly delineated, etiological origin of dilated intestine is unknown. Histology of the resected segment is usually reported to have normal presence of ganglion cells in the myenteric and submucosal plexuses. Intestinal muscle is hypertrophied, and heterotopic gastric mucosa may also be encountered. A 3-day-old male infant presenting with clinical findings of intestinal obstruction was diagnosed to have SID and had supernumerary intestinal muscle coat (SIMC) in the dilated segment, without any evidence of neurological abnormality. Histopathological findings of the resected ileal segment are reported to discuss the role of architectural malformation of muscularis propria as a cause of SID.

Abstract
Segmental dilatation of the ileum is one of the uncommon causes of intestinal obstruction in neonates. We present a case of slow transit of bowel contents leading to suspicion of functional bowel obstruction in a new born, which on exploration turned out to be a case of segmental dilatation of the jejuno-ileal region. The clinical and radiological evaluation was suggestive of hypomotility disorder of gut, resulting in diagnostic dilemma and delayed surgical intervention.
