AB  - Intestinal  obstruction  is  a  common  condition  in  the  neonatal  period.  Although  precise  data  are  not  available,  it  is  estimated  to  occur  in  approximately  1  in  2000  live  births.1  Esophageal  obstruction  generally  presents  with  respiratory  symptoms  and  is  not  discussed  here.  Intestinal  obstruction  is  frequently  complete,  as  in  intestinal  atresia,  or  incomplete,  as  in  duodenal  stenosis.  While  the  majority  of  obstructions  are  mechanical,  others  are  functional,  such  as  Hirschprung  disease  or  meconium  ileus.  The  ileus  associated  with  septic  or  metabolic  conditions  may  mimic  intestinal  obstruction  and  must  be  distinguished  from  obstruction,  as  it  does  not  require  operative  intervention.
