Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Small-bowel atresias are among the most common causes of intestinal obstruction in newborns, and they often require urgent surgical treatment. Imaging techniques play a very important role in their diagnosis, which is often suspected on prenatal obstetric ultrasound and confirmed on postnatal plain-film X-rays. Abdominal ultrasound's lack of ionizing radiation, wide availability, low cost, and high resolution is making this technique increasingly important in confirming atresias and in detecting possible complications in newborns. This review analyzes a series of cases seen at our center. It summarizes the different types of small-bowel atresias, focusing on the clinical presentation, imaging findings on different modalities, presence of associated disease, management, clinical course, and outcomes. Las atresias de intestino delgado son una de las causas más frecuentes de obstrucción intestinal en el neonato y habitualmente requieren tratamiento quirúrgico urgente. Las técnicas de imagen conforman una parte muy importante del diagnóstico, aportando la ecografía obstétrica prenatal la sospecha inicial y siendo la radiografía simple de abdomen la prueba que confirma el diagnóstico tras el nacimiento. La ecografía abdominal en el recién nacido está cobrando cada vez mayor importancia, debido a su inocuidad, disponibilidad, bajo coste y alta capacidad de resolución, tanto para la confirmación del diagnóstico como para la detección de las posibles complicaciones asociadas. En este artículo analizamos una serie de casos vistos en nuestro centro y elaboramos un resumen de los diferentes tipos de atresias de intestino delgado, haciendo hincapié en la clínica, los hallazgos radiológicos obtenidos en las diferentes modalidades de imagen, la existencia de patología asociada, su manejo y su evolución.
