Presentation

Stalker Hall

Synopsis: This session will begin with imaging of upper gastrointestinal obstruction in the newborn due to oesophageal atresia, duodenal atresia or jejunal atresia which are predominantly diagnosed using plain radiographs. Distal intestinal atresia has many causes including Hirschprung’s disease, ileal atresia, meconium ileus, small left colon syndrome and imperforate anus. Differentiating these conditions depends on a combination of plain radiographs and contrast studies. The role of ultrasound will also be addressed.

This agenda item is presented in the following session: PCS2-1 Pediatric Radiology - 1st Set
