Vascular lesions of gut are rare and they may rarely cause luminal obstruction in neonates. A baby boy born at 36 weeks of gestation presented with small bowel obstruction on day 3 of life. X-ray suggested small bowel obstruction. Contrast enema showed microcolon with multiple filling defects. Exploration revealed thin floppy gut with multiple segments of stenoses and dilatation with surface bluish discoloration but no perforation, two areas were resected. Proximal anastomosis was done and distally a stoma was formed. Histopathology showed vascular malformation in all the layers of gut. The diagnosis was impossible preoperatively and could be established after surgery only.
