  […] necrosis of the bowel and subsequent reabsorption of the affected segment is the favored theory. [25, 2, 4, 1, 26] De Chadarevian et al reported on an infant with inherited thrombophilia that created a hypercoagulable state, favoring a segmental intestinal thrombosis [emedicine.medscape.com]

• Cyanosis

  Esophageal atresias should be suspected if any one of the following is present: maternal polyhydramnios (from inability of the fetus to swallow and absorb amniotic fluid); excessive oral secretions in the newborn; cyanosis, choking, regurgitation or coughing [hawaii.edu]

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]
