Presentation
The average interval between presentation to neonatologists and presentation to the surgeons were 4.5 days for JIA and 2.1 days for DA. [njcponline.com]
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]

- Thrombosis
[…] 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]
Treatment
Treatment will include surgery to repair the intestine and supportive care. Nutrition Support Nutrition normally enters the body through the intestines. [wmhs.com]
Treatment[edit] Early treatment includes removing fluids from the stomach via a nasogastric tube, and providing fluids intravenously.[1] The definitive treatment for duodenal atresia is surgery (duodenoduodenostomy or duodenojejunostomy), which may be [en.wikipedia.org]

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]
Etiology
Therefore, the most likely etiology for duodenal atresia is failure of luminal recanalization after the cord stage. [mhmedical.com]
[…] in·tes·ti·nal a·tre·si·a an obliteration of the lumen of the small intestine, with the ileum involved in 50% of cases and the jejunum and duodenum next in frequency; most frequent cause of intestinal obstruction in the newborn; etiology may be related [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.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]
The etiology is thought to be from an in-utero ischemic event. [radiopaedia.org]

Pathophysiology
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]

Prevention There are no current guidelines to prevent intestinal atresia. There may be a link between atresia and smoking and cocaine during pregnancy. Congenital duodenal obstruction. EBSCO DynaMed Plus website. [wmhs.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]
IA prevents food and poop (stool) from moving through your child’s body. It is most common in the small bowel. But it also can affect the large bowel. Doctors sometimes describe IA by naming the part of the bowel it affects. [seattlechildrens.org]
