Abstract
True atresia of the ileocecal valve is extremely rare, with fewer than 10 cases having been reported in the literature. The case presented is that of a preterm newborn female with the diagnosis of a neonatal bowel obstruction in whom an exploratory laparotomy revealed an atresia of the ileocecal valve itself. As the patient had a normal length of intestine otherwise, an ileocecectomy with a primary anastomosis between the terminal ileum and right colon was performed. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged without complication. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.
