  • Title: [Atresia of the jejunum, ileum and colon; a retrospective study].
    Author: Tibboel D, Molenaar JC.
    Journal: Tijdschr Kindergeneeskd; 1981 Apr; 49(2):56-66. PubMed ID: 7022745.
    Abstract:
    The results are described of a retrospective study of 142 patients with atresias of the jejunum, ileum and colon in the Netherlands. It is pointed out that pregnancy had often been complicated by polyhydramnios. This may lead to an early diagnosis in the prenatal period. Whenever a neonate presents with bilious vomiting or distension of the abdomen, closer examination for intestinal atresia should take place. The production of meconium does not rule out the diagnosis of intestinal atresia.
