RESUMEN

Neonatal intestinal obstruction is caused by an anatomical abnormality that produces bowel movement failure. Intestinal obstruction presents with three classic clinical signs: vomiting, abdominal distention, and failure to pass meconium. Intestinal obstruction is one of the most common causes for admitting a pediatric patient to the pediatric surgery unit in his or her first weeks of postnatal life. Congenital obstruction of the digestive tract in neonates is a common problem, with the most frequent cause being anorectal malformations (41%), followed by esophageal obstruction (24%), and duodenal obstruction (20%).
