Contrast Enema for Neonatal Distal Bowel Obstruction: The Diagnostic and Pathological Yield

1. Abstract
1.1 Purpose
Neonatal distal bowel obstruction (DBO) can present a diagnostic challenge [1, 2] As different aetiologies have similar clinical mani
festations with not all surgical intervention [2, 3]. Contrast enemas (CE) can help differentiate the aetiology avoiding the need for sur
gery [2-4]. We reviewed 20years of CE to evaluate their diagnostic and pathological yield in neonatal DBO.
