Abstract

Abstract Apple peel atresia is an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction. The authors report a case of a 36 weeks preterm girl, presenting with a fetal intestinal obstruction on prenatal ultrasonography, that was intraoperatively diagnosed with small bowel atresia of the apple peel configuration type. The patient was successfully managed with preservation of the apple peel segment and temporary enterostomies, and is doing well after stoma closure and intestinal continuity reestablishment.
