Abstract:
A case of ileal atresia consequent to intrauterine intussusception is reported. The baby presented with features of neonatal intestinal obstruction but signs of peritonitis were absent. The intussusception was discovered on gross examination of distal atretic ileal segment. The case was managed successfully by resection and end to back anastomosis. This case is reported to highlight intrauterine intussusception as one of the causes of ileal atresia.
