Intestinal Atresia
Home » Intestinal Atresia
What is Intestinal Atresia?
Intestinal atresia is a birth defect where part of the intestine is either absent or blocked, preventing the normal passage of food and digestive fluids. It can occur in any part of the intestine, including the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, or colon, and often requires urgent surgical intervention shortly after birth.
This condition may be associated with other congenital anomalies or genetic syndromes, so a thorough evaluation is essential.
Symptoms of Intestinal Atresia
Signs of intestinal atresia usually appear soon after birth and may include:
Bilious (green) vomiting
Failure to pass meconium (baby’s first stool)
Abdominal distension or bloating
Feeding difficulties
Poor weight gain or dehydration
These symptoms indicate a medical emergency and should be addressed immediately by a pediatric specialist.
Diagnosis and Treatment in Ghaziabad
In our Ghaziabad facility, we perform prenatal scans (if detected during pregnancy) or postnatal X-rays and contrast studies to diagnose the type and location of the atresia. Once confirmed, the treatment is surgical correction, where the blocked or missing segment of the intestine is removed and the healthy ends are joined (anastomosis).
Post-surgery, the child is cared for in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with IV fluids, antibiotics, and gradual reintroduction of feeds through a feeding tube.
