Abstract
Microcolon is a rare radiological feature encountered during neonatal lower gastro intestinal obstruction. It results from a defect in the passage of digestive contents from the small intestines to the colon during fetal life. The etiologies involved are meconium ileus, ileojejunal atresia, and total colonic agonglion. The unprepared abdomen (UAP) and colonic opacification help to orient the diagnosis and the therapeutic attitude. We report the case of a neonate with a micro-colon occlusion by reviewing the data in the literature.
