Micro-colon associated with multiple ileal atresia in a newborn infant--case report and literature review.
We report a case of a 5-day-old infant male who presented with abdominal distention and inability to pass meconium. Barium enema revealed microcolon, and at surgery the etiology was found to be multiple proximal ileal atresia.
