Newborns present with bilious or non-bilous vomiting (depending on where in the duodenum the obstruction is) within the first 24 to 48 hours after birth, typically after their first oral feeding. Radiography shows a distended stomach and distended duodenum, which are separated by the pyloric valve, a finding described as the double-bubble sign .
Symptoms include projectile vomiting without the presence of bile. [1] This most often occurs after the baby is fed. [1] The typical age that symptoms become obvious is two to twelve weeks old. [1] The cause of pyloric stenosis is unclear. [2] Risk factors in babies include birth by cesarean section, preterm birth, bottle feeding, and being ...
The neonatal bowel obstruction is suspected based on polyhydramnios in utero, bilious vomiting, failure to pass meconium in the first day of life, and abdominal distension. [3] The presentations of NBO may vary. [4]
In neonates it may present with bilious vomiting and blood stained stools. [4] Fever is not a symptom of intussusception. However, intussusception can cause a loop of bowel to become necrotic, secondary to ischemia due to compression to arterial blood supply. This leads to perforation and sepsis, which causes fever.
Normally, 90% of babies pass their first meconium within 24 hours, and 99% within 48 hours. [10] Some other signs and symptoms in newborns include a swollen belly, vomiting (green or brown vomit), and flatulence. In older children, some other signs and symptoms include chronic constipation, flatulence, swollen belly, fatigue, and failure to thrive.

Neonatal cholestasis can present in newborn infants within the first few months of life. [1] The incidence of neonatal cholestasis is approximately 1 in 2,500 term births. [ 5 ] While neonatal cholestasis can present from a number of pathologic causes, 35-40% of neonatal cholestasis cases are caused by biliary atresia . [ 3 ]
