Ileal atresia – malformation of the ileum, the lower part of the small intestine; Colon atresia – malformation of the colon; Malformations may also occur along multiple portions of the intestinal tract; for instance a malformation that occurs along or spans the length of the jejunum and the ileum is termed jejunoileal atresia.

The most common symptoms of Strømme syndrome are intestinal atresia, eye abnormalities and microcephaly. However, the syndrome has a wide range of severity that generally runs in the family it presents in, ranging from only mild learning disability and microcephaly with no other features in some families [ 2 ] [ 6 ] to death in utero with ...
The majority of cases are small intestinal atresia, while colonic atresias are uncommon. [14] There have been two main etiologies proposed for intestinal atresia: the first is a lack of re-vacuolization of the solid cord stage of intestinal development, and the second is a late intrauterine mesenteric vascular accident.
Umbilical cord ulceration and intestinal atresia is a rare [1] congenital disease that leads to intestinal atresia, umbilical cord ulceration and severe intrauterine haemorrhage. Only 15 cases have so far been reported, [ 2 ] though newer studies are beginning to conclude that this disease has a higher incidence rate than has been previously ...
Familial multiple intestinal atresia (FMIA) or familial intestinal polyatresia syndrome (FIPA) is an inherited disorder where atresia occurs at multiple locations throughout the small and large intestines. It presents at birth and the prognosis is very poor with almost all those diagnosed with this condition dying with one month.
Intussusception is a medical condition in which a part of the intestine folds into the section immediately ahead of it.

Other symptoms beyond pain can be lower-back discomfort, nausea, and painful intercourse, he adds. Endo can be treated with medications to decrease the pain, such as ibuprofen , Tylenol, and Motrin.
Volvulus causes severe pain and progressive injury to the intestinal wall, with accumulation of gas and fluid in the portion of the bowel obstructed. [11] Ultimately, this can result in necrosis of the affected intestinal wall, acidosis, and death. This is known as a closed-loop obstruction because there exists an isolated ("closed") loop of bowel.
