“… Type I -Membrane or diaphragm causing obstruction in the lumen (Fig: 5),  Type II -A cord type of anomaly at the site of atresia with intact mesentery,  Type IIIA -Which involves separation of both ends by a mesenteric defect (Fig: 6),  Type IIIB-Apple-peel deformity where the distal loop is coiled and supplied by the ileocolic artery (Fig: 7),  Type IV -Multiple intestinal atresia. 8 Duodenal atresias are due to failure of recanalisation that normally occurs during 9-11 weeks of gestational age. It is commonly associated with various anomalies such as Down syndrome most often seen, CHD, as part of VACTERL association (As we have seen in one case of oesophageal atresia) additional intestinal atresia.…”
