AB Gastrointestinal  obstructions  are  categorized  according  to  etiology  as  either  congenital  or  acquired.  These  broad  categories  are  not  mutually  exclusive.  For  example,  congenital  lesions  of  the  intestine  such  as  an  enteric  duplication  or  Meckel  diverticulum  may  not  cause  obstruction  until  later  in  life.  Congenital  anatomic  defects  and  acquired  disorders  of  the  intestine  presenting  in  the  first  30  days  of  life  are  characterized  as  neonatal  intestinal  obstruction.
