Novel association of multiple gastrointestinal anomalies in a single patient: Can Sonic Hedgehog explain it?

Abstract

The occurrence of four gastrointestinal (GIT) anomalies in a single patient is extremely rare. Only one report of four GIT anomalies in a child has been published in the English literature. The current report presents a child with four anomalies and discusses the molecular mechanisms which control the development of the gastrointestinal tract. © 2011 The Authors.
