Abstract

A case of colonic atresia associated with Hirschsprung’s disease is described in a full term neonate presented with intestinal obstruction. Laparotomy revealed type III colonic atresia. Histopathological examination suggested total aganglionosis in the postatretic colonic segment. The child recovered satisfactorily following two stage Duhamel — Martin’s pull through procedure. Authors present their experience with the present case and the pertinent literature.
