RESUMO
Gastrointestinal motility disorders are induced by various causes in neonates, some of which are not classified. Generally, these disorders can be classified as a neuropathy or myopathy, each of which can be subdivided into a primary or secondary type. We describe a neonate with a rare form of myopathy related to segmental transposition of the smooth muscle of the ileum and a brief review of the relevant literature.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of the needle aspiration alternative to open surgical drainage of children with suppurative cervical lymphadenitis requiring surgical drainage. METHODS: From January 1998 to June 2008, we retrospectively reviewed 38 children treated with needle aspiration as management with suppurative cervical lymphadenitis instead of open surgical drainage. RESULTS: All 38 children underwent only 1 puncture. Two patients (5.2%) out of 38 patients experienced reformation of an abscess and all recovered completely after re-treatment with antibiotics. Minor complications were detected in 2 patients (5.2%). One complication originated from remnant necrotic tissue and the other involved formation of a small scar in two patients, which resolved spontaneously. There were no major complications. CONCLUSION: Needle aspiration can be a simple, safe, and effective alternative procedure to open surgical drainage of children with suppurative cervical lymphadenitis requiring surgical drainage.
