Left small colon syndrome is a rare cause of neonatal obstruction, favored by the existence of a diabetic mother in 40 to 50% of cases. The diagnosis is evoked by ultrasound and confirmed by an opaque enema with water-solubles. The enema will allow a colonic emptying often accelerating the regression of the digestive symptoms (use of gastrografine if necessary). The prognosis is good with symptomatic and conservative treatment. The meconium plug syndrome can also be compared to this condition, which is also part of the functional occlusive syndromes that resolve.
