Published: February 2012

We report a female neonate, who presented with abdominal distension and failure to pass meconium. Antenatal ultrasound at 32 weeks gestation and postnatal ultrasound on day1 suggested intestinal obstruction. During laparatomy, atresia of distal jejunum was found. The lumen of the distal segment contained an intussusceptum. Resection of the blind ends was done and end-to-end anastomosis was performed.
