JIA usually presents with obstipation, and diagnosis can be established with history and physical exam, radiography, and contrast fluoroscopy. This case demonstrates ileal stenosis, a rare type of JIA, presents with intermediate obstructive symptoms. A 39-week newborn female presented with bilious emesis and dilated loops of bowel on X-ray. Contrast fluoroscopy ruled out volvulus and colonic pathology. Patient had persistent bowel function and had evolving but persistent small bowel dilation with eventual pneumatosis on Day 10. Exploratory laparotomy revealed ileal stenosis with proximal dilated bowel. She underwent resection and primary anastomosis. She recovered well and is progressing appropriately. Congenital ileal stenosis is a rare type of atresia with incomplete obstruction of the lumen resulting in equivocal obstructive symptoms. This presents a diagnostic dilemma as classical congenital atresias present with obstipation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjag053","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,23]],"date-time":"2026-01-23T12:40:32Z","timestamp":1769172032000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Congenital ileal stenosis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9821-3244","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Cooper University Hospital , 1 Cooper Plaza, Camden, NJ 08103 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9335-9981","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Erika B","family":"Lindholm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pediatric Surgery, Children\u2019s Regional Hospital at Cooper, Department of Pediatrics and Surgery, Cooper Medical School of Rowan University , 1 Cooper Plaza, Camden, NJ 08103 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026021712050152100_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"368","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3468(79)80502-3","article-title":"Operative management of intestinal atresia and stenosis based on pathologic findings","volume":"14","author":"Grosfeld","year":"1979","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"key":"2026021712050152100_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"838","DOI":"10.1111\/PED.12359","article-title":"Population-based study of esophageal and small intestinal atresia\/stenosis","volume":"56","author":"Takahashi","year":"2014","journal-title":"Pediatr Int"},{"key":"2026021712050152100_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"921","DOI":"10.1016\/J.EARLHUMDEV.2014.09.017","article-title":"Malrotation and intestinal atresias","volume":"90","author":"Adams","year":"2014","journal-title":"Early Hum Dev"},{"key":"2026021712050152100_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1065","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(55)92852-X","article-title":"Congenital intestinal atresia observations on its origin","volume":"266","author":"Louw","year":"1955","journal-title":"The Lancet"},{"key":"2026021712050152100_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1428","DOI":"10.1053\/JPSU.2001.26392","article-title":"Natural history of experimental intestinal atresia: morphologic and ultrastructural study","volume":"36","author":"Baglaj","year":"2001","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"key":"2026021712050152100_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"217","DOI":"10.1016\/J.JPEDSURG.2008.10.043","article-title":"Decreased mortality but increased morbidity in neonates with jejunoileal atresia;
