Abstract

Gastroschisis is an isolated structural anomaly rarely associated with other life-threatening anomalies. The most common associated gastrointestinal anomalies are intestinal atresia, Meckel's diverticulum and intestinal duplications. Intestinal atresia occurs in 10-15% of gastroschisis cases. [1] We herein report a case of gastroschisis with concomitant type III b jejuno-ileal atresia with perforation of the proximal dilated segment of jejunum with congenital short bowel successfully treated by primary anastomosis and primary abdominal closure.
