Small left colon syndrome, a rare cause of neonatal bowel obstruction, can be diagnosed and treated using a simple contrast enema. This case report details successful management in two newborns.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Neonatal bowel obstruction is a critical condition requiring prompt diagnosis.
  • Small left colon syndrome (SLCS) is an uncommon etiology of intestinal obstruction in neonates.

Observation:

  • Two newborns, a female and a male, presented with symptoms of neonatal bowel obstruction.
  • Clinical presentation suggested a distal intestinal obstruction.

Findings:

  • A contrast enema successfully diagnosed small left colon syndrome in both neonates.
  • The newborns were successfully treated following the diagnosis via contrast enema.

Implications:

  • Contrast enema is a valuable diagnostic and therapeutic tool for small left colon syndrome.
