摘要
Colonic atresia is a rare entity presenting as a neonatal intestinal obstruction. The authors encountered a case of type I sigmoid atresia that was misdiagnosed as Hirschsprung disease in the neonatal period. The case is discussed herein because of the rarity of the condition and to emphasize the importance of a high index of suspicion for this condition.
