Deskripsi
Apple peel jejunal atresia is a rare congenital anomaly. This condition presents at birth as an intestinal obstruction, is diagnosed by X-rays and confirmed by laparatomy. Resection of the dilated proximal intestine and primary anastomosis is the treatment, but has a poor prognosis. We report here a rare form of atresia with apple peel deformity and its successful management.
