“…A vascular insult is the most accepted theory for isolated CA, while exaggerated inflammatory response and immunologic theory have shown some acceptance for BA. [ 1 3 ] The theory behind the co-occurrence of CA along with BA, as in our case, is a challenge to understand. Genetic defects or generalized defects during embryogenesis might be etiopathology.…”

“…Colonic atresia (CA) is a rare type of intestinal atresia with an incidence of 1:1500–1:66000 live births.

Colonic atresia (CA) is an uncommon type of intestinal atresia commonly associated with other anomalies, while biliary atresia (BA) is also rare but usually an isolated anomaly. The pathogenesis for either of the anomalies is unclear. The co-occurrence of both pathologies has not been mentioned in the literature. We here discuss the management of CA with BA and the review of pertinent literature.

“…Focusing on CA signs and symptoms, a retrospective study done in India concluded that the common presenting signs and symptoms were distended abdomen, constipation, and bilious vomiting [9]. Moreover, meconium-stained penis and dehydration can be presented in CA patients [10].…”
Colonic atresia (CA) is the rarest type of intestinal atresia and is defined as an obstruction in the large intestinal lumen. This is a rare case presentation of a four-day-old full-term female patient presented with signs and symptoms of intestinal obstruction. Investigation revealed that she had complicated CA located in the splenic flexure. Laparotomy and colostomy were done on the patient. About two months later, she was admitted for stoma closure, which was converted to modified Bishop-Koop stoma. Lastly, the patient underwent a successful stoma closure. Upon one month of follow-up, the patient's condition has markedly improved and the wound healed well without any complications.
“…Since it is a rare condition, it is challenging for pediatric surgeons in terms of its diagnosis and management. [6] Disruption of intrauterine blood supply to the colon has been reported as the main cause of CA and usually happens at late gestation. [1,2] The vascular abruption can be either attributed to intrinsic or extrinsic factors.…”
Background: Colonic atresia (CA) is a rare cause of congenital intestinal obstruction. The management of CA is challenging because of its rarity.
Case Presentation: We present a case of right-sided CA in a term male baby weighing 3006 gm, without any other comorbidity. Type 1 atresia was seen at ascending colon and upon decompression, a reasonable caliber was achieved for a primary anastomosis following distal Cheatle slit and proximal tapering. Postoperative recovery was uneventful.
Conclusion: Primary anastomosis is a feasible option in right-sided CA when no major comorbidity is present and a normal distal colon with reasonable caliber is certain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
