Abstract

The clinical and roentgenologic features of three neonates who had atresia of the colon are described. There were features of obstruction evident on plain roentgen films of the abdomen and contrast enema confirmed this in all patients. The importance of early diagnosis of this lesion is emphasised. The complications and differential diagnosis are discussed.
