“…They demonstrate symptoms beginning in the days following birth with an average of 01 to 04 days and extremes of 03 hours to 05 days [1,[3][4][5][6][7]. Would not there be, in the case observed, a latency period between the birth and the beginning of the signs, as is the case for other digestive congenital pathologies, like hypertrophic stenosis of pylorus?…”

“…There was no obvious sign of intestinal occlusion (no bilious vomiting or stoppage of matter and gas). In studies conducted in Africa by El OUACHEKRADI and F. BARGI and in Europe by WATTS, BARLAS ETENSEL and other, cases of colonic atresia proved by intestinal obstruction regardless of the type [1,[3][4][5]7,8].…”

“…We did not find megacolon and small bowel atresia. According to LOUW [5,[9][10][11][12], in our case it is an interruption of the superior mesenteric vascular flow, intended for the irrigation of the small bowel and the proximal half of the colon, which would be the cause of atresia . The associated anomalies are expected to be small bowel atresia and a megacolon that we do not find [5,[13][14][15].…”

Int J Radiol Radiat Ther 2017, 4(2): 00090 AbstractPurpose: Colonic localization is the rarest form of Intestinal atresia. Diagnosis is usually made in the neonatal period by an occlusive syndrome. We report a case diagnosed in Abidjan, in a table of chronic constipation in an infant 8 months also having macroglossia.Case report: A 8-months-old male Infant was admitted in an array of chronic constipation, bloated stomach with few food vomiting evolving since the age of four (04) months. Physical examination noted a sub-occlusive syndrome associated with upper digestive tract malformation. There was no anal imperforation and anorectal stimulation was not accompanied with stool emission. Suspecting the coexistence of an abnormality of the lower digestive tract, We carried out a low digestive opacification that objectived a long and small pertuis of third proximal transverse colon through which the contrast product passes, associated with a dilation of the colon segment upstream of the lesion and a smaller downstream colon. During evacuation, a stop image is noted in a concave cup downstream of the contrast product. There was no abnormal length of colon. We recommended surgery. The patient, for lack of financial means, was lost sight of. Conclusion:We presented a case of atresia we see as type I according to the classification of LOUW. However, unusual features related to age at diagnosis, clinical manifestations, associated malformations and radiographic images obtained with barium enema are noted.

“…The associated anomalies are expected to be small bowel atresia and a megacolon that we do not find. 5,[13][14][15] We observe macroglossia and umbilical hernia. Our case would therefore be part of a diffuse polymalformative syndrome.…”

“…Usually, the seat of colonic atresia of this type is the distal half of the colon, particularly the region under the left colonic angle, vascularized by the inferior mesenteric artery. 5,7 This location is rarely described.…”
