Distal ileal atresia may present after 24-48 hours. An abdominal radiograph is important in the diagnosis of these conditions. In duodenal atresia, a double bubble is typically present.[cancertherapyadvisor.com]
When a neonate presents with a bowel obstruction, locating the site of the lesion becomes most important in the sequence of clinical investigation and management.[mhmedical.com]
The mean age at presentation to the surgeon was 10.3 days (range 2-43 days) for JIA and 10.6 days (range 1-35 days) for DA. Average weight at presentation was 2.2 kg for JIA and 2.4 kg for DA.[njcponline.com]
Causes of death were: Sepsis with disseminated intravascular coagulation (1), sepsis from anastomotic leakage (1), septic shock (1), anesthesia-related (1), undetermined (1). Two of the mortalities (40%) had re-operation for anastomotic leak.[njcponline.com]

The prognosis of colonic atresia is usually good [17]. The prognosis of intestinal atresia is better in developed countries (Table 4) that in developing countries where there are survival rates barely reaching 50% [9, 72].[ispub.com]
Therefore, the most likely etiology for duodenal atresia is failure of luminal recanalization after the cord stage.[mhmedical.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]

Pathophysiology Duodenal atresia occurs when recanalization of the closed duodenum fails to occur or occurs only partially during the embryonic period (usually between the 8 th –10 th week of gestation).[amboss.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]
