Authors: Tripathy, Prasanta Kumar; Ray, Banoj Kumar; Mohanty, Hiranya Kishore
Abstract: We report an extremely rare finding 'congenital absence of jejunum and ileum' during explorative laparotomy of a 16-day-old female neonate. The dilated duodenum was terminating blindly, and the next segment of intestine was a peanut-sized cecum followed by microcolon. On an extensive survey of literature this type of intestinal atresia is not reported in living babies.
