  • Title: A rare case of intrauterine intussusception causing ileal atresia.
    Author: Carine Sun CY, Ashok K, Mughni B.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 2020 May; 75(3):304-306. PubMed ID: 32467551.
    Abstract:
    Intrauterine intussusception is a rare but evident cause of intestinal atresia and is usually detected intraoperatively. We report on a term neonate who presented to the Department of Paediatric Surgery, Sabah Women and Children's Hospital, Malaysia with delayed passage of meconium and intestinal obstruction, wherein the lower contrast showed a claw sign. This was a good clue that this neonate had intrauterine intussusception and this suspicion was confirmed upon laparotomy. We found an ileo-ileal intussusception causing ileal atresia, requiring resection and primary anastomosis.
