How is intestinal obstruction caused in newborns?

Neonatal intestinal obstruction causes mainly include congenital intestinal malformations, meconium peritonitis, intussusception and other diseases.

Neonatal intestinal obstruction is caused by a variety of factors through the intestinal contents of obstacles, the specific reasons are as follows:

1. congenital intestinal malformations: such as congenital intestinal atresia, congenital intestinal malrotation, congenital megacolon, etc., is a common cause of neonatal intestinal obstruction.

2. meconium peritonitis: due to fetal intestinal perforation leading to abdominal infection, causing fibrosis, resulting in intestinal adhesion, resulting in intestinal obstruction.

3. Intussusception: is a common cause of infant intestinal obstruction, mostly due to intestinal motility disorders.

4. Other: congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, annular pancreas, enterocolitis, etc., can also lead to neonatal intestinal obstruction. In

short, neonatal intestinal obstruction causes are more complex, need to seek medical advice, clear diagnosis, and take appropriate treatment measures.
