Abstract

Congenital atresia of the intestinesÂ and colon is an uncommon malformationÂ in which there is completeÂ obstruction of the alimentary tract.Â It rapidly produces vomiting, severeÂ dehydration, and possibly ruptureÂ of the blind intestine. If no surgicalÂ relief is given, death supervenes in most cases in the first week of life,Â but surgical therapy is followed by high mortality. Prompt recognitionÂ of the obstruction and immediateÂ operation give the only hopeÂ of survival (Gross, 1953).
Vidal (1915) as cited by Young (1966) is the first who report the successful treatment of neonatalÂ duodenal obstruction.
