Abstract
A comparative morphological study of jejunal villi under the dissecting microscope and their histological changes under the light microscope was performed on 100 childhood necropsies from Yangon Children Hospital. they were from a-day-old meonate to twelve-year-old children. Four patterns of villi morphology were observed under the dissecting microscope: finger-like, tongue-like, leave-like and ridge villi. Histologically, inflammatory cells infiltration in the lamina propria and submucosa with vascular congestion of graded severity were observed. There is no correlation between villi morphology and histological changes. Tongue-like and leave-like villi could be regarded as normal for our children. Although histological examination of the post-mortem jejunal materials yields limited value, it could be of supportive or additive value if studied simultaneously with the dissecting microscopy.
