Colonic atresia: spectrum of presentation and pitfalls in management. A review of 14 cases.

Fourteen cases of colonic atresia seen over a 38-year period are reviewed with particular reference to clinical presentation and pitfalls in management. Seven had Type I atresia, two Type II and five Type IIIa. Ten had associated gastrointestinal anomalies. Management varied considerably. Six had primary colonic anastomosis. Two of these developed complications due to unrecognized distal hypoganglionosis, two had associated jejunal atresias resulting in short bowel syndrome, and two had primary anastomosis protected by proximal ileostomies. Seven had a staged repair with initial defunctioning enterostomy with only one complication, an unfixed mesentery that later resulted in midgut volvulus. The only mortality was a patient in which a jejunal atresia repair leaked as a result of a missed colonic atresia. Operative strategy should depend on the clinical state of the patients, the level of atresia, associated small bowel pathology and exclusion of distal pathology. Primary anastomosis would only rarely be advised with a circumspect approach. Long-term outlook, as in small bowel atresia is generally excellent.

Prenatal ultrasonic diagnosis of multiple bowel atresias.

This case illustrates the course of an obstructive process through spontaneous perforation resulting in decompression of dilated bowel loops. The resulting meconium peritonitis appeared as fetal ascites. Postnatal investigations and laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis of a rare form of multiple congenital atresias of the bowel.
