Abstract

Acquired intestinal atresia in non-necrotizing enterocolitis affected patients is very rare. We report a 2 month old male infant who presented with bilious vomiting, abdominal distension and constipation. He was exclusively breast fed, gained weight and was asymptomatic till six weeks of age. Exploratory laparotomy revealed blind-ended, dilated proximal segment and collapsed distal segment of jejunum at approximately 30 cms from duedeno-jejunal flexure, with a V-shaped mesentery defect resembling a type III-a congenital jejunal atresia.
