Description |
Congenital short bowel syndrome (CSBS) is an inherited intestinal disorder occurring in newborns and infants. Affected babies typically present a shortened bowel (approximately 50 cm) compared with normal length rages from 190 to 280 cm. CSBS causes malabsorption and the most common symptoms including chronic diarrhea, vomiting and weight loss, thus leading to failure to thrive. Gene mutation in coxsackie and adenovirus receptor-like membrane protein (CLMP) has been reported to be associated with this disease.
