If digestive obstruction happens, food, fluids, stomach acids, and gas build up behind the site of the blockage. Neonates, more so than older children, with unrecognized intestinal obstruction deteriorate rapidly. When the proximal mesentery is destroyed in jejunal atresia, the ileum may derive its blood supply from the ileocolic vessels and wraps around these vessels, creating the appearance of a "Christmas tree" or "apple peel." The contents of the intestine cannot pass through it. 40% of the patients with duodenal atresia have Down Syndrome. Newborns typically present with abdominal distention and failure to pass meconium in the first 48 hours of life. Absence or complete closure (atresia) of a portion of the channel (lumen) within the first part of the small intestine (duodenum), or partial obstruction due to narrowing (stenosis) of the duodenum, is present. This condition results in a blockage (atresia) that stops food or fluid from leaving the baby’s stomach (Figure 2).

Intestinal malrotation and mongolism were themost frequent major anomalies found. Diagnosis can be made in utero if polyhydramnios is present. Type 1 defects are the most common cause of duodenal atresia. It may occur due to a variety of conditions and has an excellent outcome based on timely diagnosis and appropriate intervention. 2 Partial duodenal obstruction: duodenal stenosis or malrotation/volvulus? Duodenal atresia (DA) is a complete blockage in the first part of the small intestine while duodenal stenosis (DS) is a narrowing (or partial obstruction) in the same area. (To visualize it, think of a collapsible travel cup.) If a newborn in distress demonstrates evidence of a high-grade proximal small-bowel obstruction with some air past the duodenum, suspect volvulus and urgently consider an exploratory laparotomy. A duodenal atresia occurs in approximately 1 in 5000 neonates. Congenital obstruction of the digestive tract in neonates is a common problem, with the most frequent cause being anorectal malformations (41%), followed by esophageal obstruction (24%), and duodenal obstruction (20%). We report a rare case of MI in a newborn infant diagnosed antenatally to have trisomy 21 and DA. Some of these are detected before birth or in the hospital but many are not.

Any newborn who continues to vomit in the first few days of life, particularly if the vomitus contains bile and if the abdomen is distended, should have immediate investigation because intestinal obstruction in the newborn is a fatal condition unless promptly recognized and surgically corrected. The small bowel is the most common site of atresia in the gastrointestinal tract, accounting for approximately half of cases. 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background. Abstract.
