Is It True That Intussusception Precedes Ileal Atresia?
Abstract
Intestinal atresia is often considered a sequela of the intrauterine vascular accident, frequently reported as intrauterine intussusception as the primary pathophysiology. We are reporting a case of a full-term newborn diagnosed to have ileal atresia secondary to some vascular accident that occurred late in the pregnancy leading to ileocolic intussusception.
This case will substantiate a different perspective of the previous understanding of the condition and allow the readers to further acknowledge how the type 3A variety of intestinal atresia allows the distal segment to telescope, causing intussusception. Keeping a high index of suspicion and emergency laparotomy in such conditions, with an expert surgical approach proved to play the most vital step in the survival and outstanding recovery of a delicate life.
