title: [Obstructions in children].
abstract: In matters of intestinal obstruction the younger the child, the clearer the features of this condition. As in adults, obstruction reveals an intestinal blockage related to multiple and varied origins. Neonatal obstruction deserves special attention, as it often reveals a digestive tract abnormality with interrupted continuity which is incompatible with life unless the appropriate surgical treatment is carried out. Constant advances in intensive care and nutritional care of these infants result in increasingly "borderline" digestive situations, but certain situations have not yet been solved in the absence of success of intestinal transplantation.
