Description

Intestinal Atresia is a congenital condition characterized by the absence or closure of a portion of the intestinal tract, leading to obstruction. This condition can result in severe gastrointestinal complications and typically requires surgical intervention for correction.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'Atresia Intestinal' is the formal term used in clinical settings. Common variants may include colloquial terms like 'obstrucción intestinal' or 'atresia del intestino', which should be avoided in formal contexts to maintain clarity. It is crucial to ensure that patients understand the severity of the condition and the need for surgical treatment.

Example Sentences

EN: The newborn was diagnosed with Intestinal Atresia shortly after birth.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'atresia' with 'atresia esofágica'; misinterpreting the severity of the condition; using informal terms instead of the clinical term.
