“…Preoperative diagnosis of Neonatal-CTMH has remained a challenge as the clinical presentation often occurs as bowel obstruction. [ 3 4 5 6 7 8 ] The bowel obstruction may progress rapidly to strangulation and shock. Bowel ischemia was reported as soon as 6 h after onset of symptoms.…”

“…Hence, the definitive diagnosis is reached at surgery as happened in our cases and also reported by others. [ 3 4 5 6 7 8 ]. The role of contrast study is limited, as it will not yield the specific diagnosis, it also has the potential of radiation exposure and hypothermia in neonates and finally it leads to delay in the surgical exploration.…”

Congenital transmesenteric hernia in neonates is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction with devastating outcomes and still remains a challenge to diagnose pre-operatively. Patients are often managed with emergency surgical exploration and may need bowel resection. We present 2 neonates with small bowel obstruction secondary to strangulated transmesenteric hernia through a congenital defect in the small bowel mesentery, which were managed successfully. We have also reviewed the literature about congenital transmesenteric hernia in neonates.
