Abstract
Colonic atresia is a very rare cause of intestinal obstruction, and surgical management is the mainstay of therapy. A case of congenital colonic atresia is reported in a full-term neonate who presented with delayed passage of meconium, abdominal distention and bilious vomiting. The present case and the pertinent literature are discussed, with an emphasis on surgical management.
