[Antenatal diagnosis and management of ileal atresia].

Ileal atresia is a rare congenital malformation which affects a small percentage of the population, with an incidence of 1 in 5000 cases. It may be suspected and diagnosed by ultrasound at the end of the second and third trimester. Obstetrical and surgical consultation is the key to success here. Eliminating a systemic disease with poor prognosis, fighting to reduce premature births and immediately entrusting the child to the surgeon are the main objectives to achieve. During surgery, the surgeon will determine the type of atresia, its location, single or multiple areas of occlusion and its length; thus surgery depends on etiology. Our study reports an interesting clinical case of ileal atresia diagnosed antenatall.
