[Neonatal small left colon syndrome (author's transl)].
Two cases of neonatal intestinal obstruction, with clinical, radiological and evolutive characteristics typical of the "neonatal small left colon syndrome", are described. Some etiological aspects are commented upon as well as differential diagnosis, which must be done with a certain number of diseases that produce intestinal obstruction in the newborn. Authors consider of great interest the high incidence of this syndrome in children born to diabetic mothers, diagnostic value of barium enema and the usually benign clinical course with very simple therapeutic procedures.
