Summary:{Figure 1} Intestinal atresia typically present in neonatal period with the classical symptoms of abdominal distension and vomiting. Available reports imply that mechanical forces on the intestine (adhesive band, volvulus, and intussusception) dominate the pathogenesis of acquired ileal atresia. Causes of acquired ileal atresia included adhesion band, intussusception, abdominal abscess, and an infant with a postvolvulus bowel anastomosis which resulted in a Type 3A ileal atresia 7 weeks following surgery.
