Congenital Colonic Atresia: an infrequent cause of low intestinal obstruction in neonates
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Colonic atresia is a rare cause of distal intestinal obstruction in neonates. In this report a two day old neonate who presented with abdominal distension, bilious vomiting and failure to pass meconium due to congenital colonic atresia is being described for its rarity. Congenital colonic atresia should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a neonate presents with features suggestive of intestinal obstruction.
