Colon, Differential, Intestinal Obstruction, Infant, stenosisAbstract
we present a congenital colonic stenosis (CCS) in a 9-month-old male. CCS have only been reported 8 times older than 6 months of age and 18 reports after the neonatal period in the English-language literature. Our infant had recurrent episodes of intestinal obstruction and failure to thrive and laparotomy shows colonic stenosis. Investigations are the abdominal X-ray, contrast enema, colonoscopy, and rectal biopsy to differentiate the CCS. The differential diagnosis (D.D) includes distal intestinal obstruction causes and its definitive treatment is surgical.
