title: ["Small left colon" syndrome (two case reports)].
abstract: METHODS
  Two newborns, one female and male were treated for neonatal bowel obstruction. A contrast enema led to the diagnosis of small left colon syndrome and treated those newborns successfully.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Small left colon syndrome is a very rare cause of neonatal bowel obstruction. The diagnosis and treatment are assured by a simple contrast enema.
