Abstract
Introduction
Intestinal atresia usually detected in the third trimester of pregnancy with different
etiologies report by different authors.
Case report
We had a unique case of multiple ileal atresia, atresia associated with cardiac
anomaly and dysmorphic features. Our case had genetic predispositions as she is the 3rd
offspring of a consanguineous parent. The 2nd offspring was also a female and died due
to neonatal intestinal obstruction.
Histopathological examination of our case showed total colon mucosal atrophy
associated with absent ganglion cells and disappearance of myenteric plexus. So, we
suggest a presence of association for colonic atresia and absent ganglion cells.
Conclusion
Is there a need to modify the usual classification of intestinal atresia?
We recommend that early diagnosis and treatment is important to improve the
prognosis in colonic atresia.
Keywords: Multiple ileal atresia; Colonic atresia; Colonic aganglinosis.
Introduction
Atresia—derived from the Greek components a- (“no” or “without”) and tresis (“hole”
or “orifice”)—refers to a congenital obstruction with complete occlusion of the intestinal
lumen; it accounts for 95% of obstructions [1-5].
Colonic atresia (CA) is a rare cause of congenital bowel obstruction, on average 1 case
per year of colonic atresia is being seen in most of the pediatric surgical centers [6]. An
incidence (colonic atresia) of 1 in 20,000 lives births and comprise for 1.8−15% of all cases of
bowel atresia in newborns [7] [8] [9]. The coexistence of colonic atresia and absent ganglia
at histopathological examination presents an etiological and diagnostic challenge.
We report a case of multiple ilealatresia with total colonic obstruction associated
multiple congenital anomalies for further study.
Case report

membrane because of polyhydramnios. She delivered by cesarean section, birth weight
