title: [Intestinal obstruction caused by milk curds in newborns].
abstract: Intestinal obstruction due to milk curds syndrome may present with a clinical picture and radiological findings which suggest the correct diagnosis. This type of intestinal obstruction usually affects neonates, previously healthy, with concentrated formula feeding. Surgical treatment may be avoided in some cases by the administration of Gastrografin enemas. Two patients with milk curd obstruction treatment in our Hospital, are presented.
