  Common symptoms in the newborn include feeding difficulties, failure to thrive, vomiting bile (a yellowish-green fluid), abdominal swelling, and/or absence of bowel movements after birth. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

  The clinical presentation is dependent on the severity of disease, and these patients have a history of intermittent emesis and failure to thrive. An upper GI series with small-bowel follow-through is indicated in these patients. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Treatment Preoperative management of jejunoileal atresia consists of placing an NGT, giving nothing by mouth, and providing IV fluids. Surgical repair is the definitive therapy. [merckmanuals.com]

(Outcomes/Resolutions) The prognosis of Jejunal Atresia is determined by early diagnosis and timely and appropriate treatment. [dovemed.com]

Its treatment is a challenging task since restoration of anatomical continuity of the affected intestine must be balanced against preservation of the intestine's maximal length. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

You may also want to contact a university or tertiary medical center in your area, because these centers tend to see more complex cases and have the latest technology and treatments. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

The prognosis for infants with jejunoileal atresia is very good with 90% survival. Prognosis is based on the length of remaining small bowel and the presence of the ileocecal valve. [merckmanuals.com]

Etiology Multiple theories regarding the etiology of jejunoileal atresia have been studied in many animal models (eg, puppies, ewes, rabbits, and chick embryos). [22, 23, 24, 25, 26] Murine studies suggest that some forms of atresia may be hereditary [emedicine.medscape.com]

CONCLUSION: Clinical observations of sporadic cases of MIA confined to the small bowel lend support to the hypothesis of a vascular incident etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology Jejunoileal atresias occur as a result of an ischemic insult during pregnancy. The ischemic insult can be due to intussusception, perforation, volvulus, intestinal strangulation via a hernia, or thromboembolism. [merckmanuals.com]

(Etiology) Jejunal Atresia is caused by the partial or complete absence of a membrane known as the mesentery. The mesentery membrane is responsible for attaching a portion of the small intestine called the jejunum, to the abdominal wall. [dovemed.com]

Therefore, the objective of the present study was to assess contractile and histological status of preatretic part of jejunal atresia which may help in understanding of underlying pathophysiology of postoperative motility problems and surgical management [jiaps.com]

Pathophysiology Accumulation of ingested food, gas, and intestinalsecretions proximal to the point of obstruction,leading to distention of the bowel. As the bowel dilates, intestinal absorption decreasesand secretion of fluid and electrolytes increases [slideshare.net]

Pathophysiology The pathophysiology of dudoenal stenosis and atresia differs from that of obstructions located more distally in the jejunoileal area; the importance of this difference cannot be overstated. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Another report of different intestinal atresias in identical twins proposes them to be either the consequence of linkage of two genes or a pleiotropic expression of a single gene. [35] Pathophysiology As stated above, the patophysiology of dudoenal stenosis [thehealthscience.com]

Food is blocked from passing through the intestine, which prevents normal feeding and intestinal function. Intestinal atresia and stenosis usually involve the small intestine, but can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract. [chp.edu]
