Entire Body System
- Surgical Procedure
Survival was unaffected by the type of surgical procedure, with both primary anastomosis after resection or staged reconstruction after initial colostomy giving excellent results. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This surgical procedure represents a therapeutic innovation in the treatment of the colorectal atresias and stenosis. Key words: colic atresia, endoanal Soave, pull-through [jpss.eu]
Surgical Ear Canal Reconstruction Congenital atresia repair is a surgical procedure that’s sometimes performed to open and reconstruct the ear canal. [hamiddjalilianmd.com]
A single end-to-oblique anastomosis after adequate resection of dilated proximal bowel, was the preferred surgical procedure. In the absence of facilities for administering TPN, early oral/nasogastric (NG) tube feeding was encouraged. [jiaps.com]
- Fever
There was no history of fever or breathing difficulty. The abdomen was grossly distended with visible peristaltic activity. However, there was no mass or palpable organomegaly. [wajradiology.org]
Please call your child's doctor if: Your child develops a fever greater than 101 degrees F Your child isn't urinating as often as usual (decreased number of wet diapers) Your child is vomiting and not tolerating feedings Her incision begins to look red [chop.edu]

- Aspiration
This prevents vomiting and aspiration, as well as providing babies with some relief from the discomfort caused by a swollen abdomen. Nutrients are provided intravenously, to replace what was lost through vomiting. [chp.edu]
[…] association with prematurity and familial occurrence. [2], [3] CHUC, usually a benign pathology, may occasionally have meconium discharge from the sac through an associated PVID. [4] We have reported a case with meconium stained liquor and meconium aspiration [afrjpaedsurg.org]
Removing air and fluid from the intestinal tract can prevent vomiting and aspiration, and reduce the risk of bowel perforation. It also provides babies with some comfort as abdominal swelling is relieved. [cincinnatichildrens.org]
After restoration of enteral function, often after a period of several days, low-volume (usually 3 to 5 ml initially every 3 hours) enteral NG tube feeding of EBM was started, with precautionary aspiration of the stomach, before every feed. [jiaps.com]
The complications of dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, aspiration of vomitus, peritonitis, infection, malnutrition, and postoperative adhesions have been also proposed as causes of death. [slideheaven.com]
Gastrointestinal
- Vomiting
A case of congenital colonic atresia is reported in a full-term neonate who presented with delayed passage of meconium, abdominal distention and bilious vomiting. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
On her second day of life, the patient presented with vomit of alimentary content and oral intolerance. [scielo.org.co]
This prevents vomiting and aspiration, as well as providing babies with some relief from the discomfort caused by a swollen abdomen. Nutrients are provided intravenously, to replace what was lost through vomiting. [chp.edu]
- Abdominal Distension
The boy presented on day 3 of life with delayed passage of meconium, milk intolerance, and progressive abdominal distension. A barium enema study was complicated by barium peritonitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Constipation
A boy with colonic atresia at the hepatic flexure who had a colostomy in the neonatal period suffered from severe constipation after definitive colocolostomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] imperforate anus, Hirschprung disease, omphalocoele, absent hand, cleft lip and palate, facial asymmetry and bilateral optic nerve atrophy. [4] Neonatal intestinal obstruction depending on the site, presents with increasing abdominal distention, vomiting, and constipation [wajradiology.org]
Case 1, a seven-month-old girl, was referred to our clinic with a chief complaint of severe constipation. A barium enema revealed stenosis at the sigmoid colon, and an anorectal manometric study showed a positive recto-anal reflex. [ci.nii.ac.jp]

Cardiovascular
- Heart Disease
It is associated with trisomy 21 and congenital heart disease. Jejunal and Ileal Atresia These conditions are often classified according to four types. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]
Related conditions include cystic fibrosis, Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), congenital heart disease, bowel rotational abnormality, annular pancreas, esophageal atresia, anorectal atresia and genitourinary conditions. [chop.edu]
Treatment
Because colonic atresia and stenosis are lethal conditions when untreated, early diagnosis and operative treatment are major requisites for survival. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Their treatment is surgical, by abdominal or sacro-perineal approach. [jpss.eu]
Early treatment is imperative as mortality of this disease increases considerably 72 hours after birth. [scielo.org.co]
Why choose us for treatment of colonic atresia? Finding out that your baby may have colonic atresia can be distressing, especially if there are other health problems. [childrenscolorado.org]
Prognosis
Good prognosis has been described in patients with timely treatment. Case report: This paper reports the case of a newborn patient presenting with vomit, abdominal distension, failure to pass meconium and a rapid progressive clinical deterioration. [scielo.org.co]
Overall prognosis is excellent. [obgyn.mhmedical.com]
The prognosis is usually favorable unless associated with other anomalies like multiple small intestinal atresias and pyloric atresia. [3] The name "Annular pancreas" was first suggested by Esker in 1862. [jiaps.com]

Pathophysiology and Etiology The feature common to both atresia and stenosis is intestinal blockage, either partial or complete. In colonic atresia, the problem is complete bowel obstruction. [emedicine.medscape.com]
