Abstract

Apple peel intestinal atresia is a rare congenital malformation. Prenatal diagnosis can be done with obstetric ultrasound and confirmed by Fetal magnetic resonance imaging. We report a case of jejuno- ileal atresia (JIA) diagnosed during obstetric ultrasound showed small bowel dilation associated with hydramnios. Neonatal abdominal x-ray of the newborn confirmed the signs of intestinal occlusion. The aim of our work is to make a focus on this uncommon neonatal condition as well as the benefits of the antenatal diagnosis for adequate and timely management.
