Intestinal obstruction of infancy and childhood in Benin City, Nigeria.

A I Akamaguna, J C Odita.   

Abstract

The pattern of intestinal obstruction observed on 168 Nigerian infants and children is presented. The commonest causes of intestinal obstruction were intussusception (21%), anorectal anomalies (20%) and Hirschsprung's disease (14%). Strangulated hernia and adhesions occurring in 3.5% and 1.7% of cases respectively were notably uncommon in this age group. The role of radiology in the management of some cases is highlighted.
