Abstract
Congenital abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) are relatively common, frequently diagnosed prenatally, and often require the attention of a neonatal surgeon for surgical correction. On occasion, such abnormalities may present with life-threatening complications necessitating urgent surgical intervention to prevent catastrophic consequences. This chapter provides an overview of the most common conditions encountered and those which require intervention as a matter of urgency. Typical presenting features, clinical findings, and treatment options are discussed.
