Abstract
For the classification of acute abdominal disorders in children, it is convenient to limit the neonatal period to the first 15 days of life for the following reasons:
-
1.
The atretic forms of congenital intestinal obstruction are seen only in the first days of life, because they are incompatible with life beyond that period.
-
2.
Several “acquired” forms of obstruction are extremely rare in the first 2 weeks after birth, such as pyloric stenosis and intussusception.
