Abstract
One of the rarest known causes of Jejunal atresia (JA) is Intra uterine intussusception (IUI). Less than 1.3% of all cases of intussusception occur in term neonates. The commonest site of IUI is Ileum, Jejunum being uncommon. Intussusception in Premature Neonates (IPN) is very rare. Its rarity results in difficulty to differentiate it from more common neonatal diseases like Necrotizing Entero Colitis (NEC) which often delays its diagnosis and sometimes leads to mismanagement also.We report on a three day old neonate presenting with features of intestinal obstruction with Jejunal atresia. Histopathological examination confirmed the Jejuno-jejunal intussusception as the cause of Jejunal atresia. The relevant literature has been reviewed.
