ABSTRACT
Nine hundred and four children with intestinal obstruction were studied. Necrotising enteritis was the commonest cause of intestinal obstruction in children. Acute intussusception was the second commonest cause in the whole group and the commonest cause in children under 1 year of age. Less common causes included band obstruction, sub acute intestinal obstruction and remnants of vitello-intestinal duct. A steady and significant improvement in the results of treatment was noted in children suffering from necrotising enteritis in the study period.
