The pathophysiology of congenital bowel obstruction varies according to the specific anatomical defect and underlying embryological disruption. Duodenal atresia typically results from failure of recanalization during the 8th to 10th weeks of gestation, while jejunoileal atresias are commonly attributed to intrauterine mesenteric vascular accidents. Intestinal malrotation occurs due to incomplete rotation and fixation of the midgut during embryonic development, predisposing infants to life-threatening volvulus. Hirschsprung disease represents a neurocristopathy characterized by absence of enteric ganglia in the affected bowel segment, leading to functional obstruction despite anatomical continuity.
