description

Congenital malformations affecting the colon are rare pediatric conditions often presenting as obstruction. Colonic atresia accounts for 5-­‐10% of atresia in newborns, stenosis is even more rare.Since 1968, only 16 cases of CCS have been reported in literature (Table 1). Because of the rarity of the disease, little is known about this uncommon condition and management is still controversial. We present a case of multiple congenital colonic stenosis and review the literature with a special focus on management of CCS. To the authors' knowledge, multiple congenital colonic stenosis has not been reported previously in the literature.
