Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Neonatal bowel disorders require prompt and accurate diagnosis to avoid potential morbidity and mortality. Symptoms such as feeding intolerance, emesis, or failure to pass meconium may prompt a radiologic evaluation. CONCLUSION: We discuss the most common neonatal bowel disorders and present a practical imaging algorithm for trainees and general radiologists.
