Abstract
This chapter presents a lot of clinical detail of neonatal congenital causes of intestinal obstruction. In the older child, there are descriptions of acute appendicitis, intussusception, and trauma to abdominal viscera. The main abdominal tumours, abdominal lymphoma, teratoma, neuroblastoma, nephroblastoma, nephroblastoma and liver tumours are also discussed and illustrated. Some sections in this chapter are illustrated by only a figure and legend because they are rare.
