Introduction: Intestinal atresia more common in the small bowel, apart from large intestine. Jejunal atresia characterized by complete occlusion of the intestinal lumen, is a rare congenital anomaly occurring in 1 in 12,000 live births.
Importance: The jejunal atresia can be single or multiple occurring anywhere from the ligament of Treitz to the jejuno-ileal junction, requiring immediate surgical attention to prevent mortality and morbidity among these neonates.
Case Presentation: A rare case of jejunal atresia in neonate and its management has been discussed here.
Clinical Discussion: Surgical excision of the involved bowel and end to end anastomosis of the normal bowel is definitive treatment.
Conclusion: The morbidity associated with post-operative hypo persistaltic bowel can be minimised by adding oral prokinetics in controlled manner.

Background: Fetal midgut volvulus is a rare disease, with a high risk of potentially life-threatening fetal complications.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the imaging findings of fetal midgut volvulus diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and explore its value in non-invasive prenatal diagnosis.
Methods: A retrospective collection of data from 156 fetuses suspected of intestinal obstruction by ultrasound examination in our hospital was conducted.
Unlabelled: Transmesenteric hernia is an internal hernia without a sac caused by a congenital defect of the mesentery. It is a rare cause of intestinal atresia, usually diagnosed intraoperatively, therefore, its prognosis is variable and may be associated with high morbidity and mortality.
Objective: To report a case of transmesenteric hernia with multiple intestinal atresia of late diagnosis.
