Abstract
Congenital esophageal atresia is characterized by disappearance of fetal gastric bubbles, polyhydramnios, and a pouch sign indicating an enlarged upper esophagus. After birth, distinguishing between Type A and Type C based on the presence or absence of air in the abdomen on X-ray is crucial. Congenital intestinal atresia is characterized by features such as the double bubble sign or triple bubble sign. Complications like umbilical cord ulcers can cause intrauterine death, but prenatal imaging diagnosis remains challenging and is a significant problem. Diagnosis of Hirschsprung’s disease relies on postnatal clinical symptoms, but confirming the difference in caliber via barium enema is crucial for determining the extent of the lesion. In imperforate anus, visualization of the target sign prenatally is important diagnostically. After birth, determining the specific type of condition through contrast studies is vital. Preoperative MRI assessment of the sphincter muscle groups is required for design of an optimal surgical approach. Necrotizing enterocolitis is a severe condition that occurs frequently in extremely low birth weight infants. If it progresses, it can lead to intestinal necrosis and perforation, resulting in a high mortality rate. Imaging, confirmation of the presence of gas in the intestinal wall and portal vein is critical.
