Abstract
Anomalous congenital band is a very rare cause of intestinal obstructions in newborns. It should be considered
as one of the etiologies of acute small bowel obstruction in neonatal period. We report here a retrospective study of three newborns with anomalous congenital bands who underwent surgical intervention between 2015 and 2018. There were 2 girls and 1 boy, aged respectively 1, 27 and 30 days. All the newborns were admitted with clinical diagnosis of acute small bowel obstruction. While band excision was done in all, one case received resection and anastomosis for intestinal necrosis. There are no specific signs that can help make the diagnosis of anomalous congenital band before surgical exploration.
