Intestinal Atresia
Intestinal Atresia is a congenital condition where a part of the intestine is either missing or closed off, preventing normal passage of food and waste. This condition can occur in various forms, affecting different sections of the small intestine or large intestine. It is often diagnosed shortly after birth when a baby shows signs of feeding difficulties or abdominal swelling.
Treatment for intestinal atresia typically involves surgery to remove the blocked section and reconnect the healthy parts of the intestine. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for improving outcomes, as untreated atresia can lead to serious complications, including infection and malnutrition.
