There was lack of peristalsis on real time ultrasound and moderate ascites (not shown). There was no pneumatosis intestinalis. d Frontal fluoroscopic view of contrast enema performed at 8 weeks of life due to persistent abdominal distension and bloody diarrhea: the contrast is filling the colon, terminal ileum, and appendix: there is mildly reduced caliber of the colon with multiple areas of wall irregularities of the colon and terminal ileum.
