Abstract | Background: Dolichocolon is an inborn anatomic variant of the colon with redundancies often causing constipation and/or volvulus presenting in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of dolichocolon presenting in infancy with constipation and bilateral hydronephrosis. Conclusions: Dolichocolon in a neonate can cause severe constipation which could also lead to an obstructive nephropathy if untreated. Monitoring of urine flow might be indicated when a neonate presents with severe constipation. |
