Gastrointestinal malformations are frequently associated with other congenital disorders; (55%) of cases had 1 congenital anomaly which was the presenting anomaly, (42.5%) had 2 congenital anomalies and (2.5%) had 3 congenital anomalies. among the studied cases; 35% had abnormal ECHO findings. the main cause of death was neonatal sepsis; 50% of dead cases
