Neonatal obstruction is a radio-clinical syndrome, common to a wide range of malformative anomalies which alter the normal anatomy or function of the digestive tract at any level. The main etiologies are reviewed with emphasis on specificity due to embryology, topography and clinical presentation. It is relatively easy to diagnose neonatal obstruction and relate it to a definite cause. The successful treatment of such obstruction requires a pluridisciplinary collaboration of specialized teams.
