What are the Common Types of Obstructions in Pediatrics?
Some common types of obstructions include:
Intestinal Obstruction: Blockage in the intestines due to conditions like intussusception, volvulus, or Hirschsprung's disease. Airway Obstruction: Blockage in the respiratory tract, often caused by foreign bodies, congenital anomalies like laryngomalacia, or infections such as croup. Urinary Tract Obstruction: Blockage in the urinary pathways, which can be due to congenital malformations like posterior urethral valves or kidney stones.
