  ABSTRACT: Intestinal atresias are rare but serious congenital malformations of the digestive tract. Early treatment involves antenatal ultrasound diagnosis, which guarantees a considerable reduction in morbidity and mortality. The pathognomonic antenatal ultrasound signs found were the double fluid bubble image to describe duodenal atresia and the multiple fluid image for jejunoileal involvement. We report 06 cases of antenatal diagnosis of intestinal atresia with 66.67% duodenal and 33.33% jejuno-ileal at the end of the second trimester and in the third trimester of pregnancy. The aim of this work was to clarify the antenatal aspects of this nosological entity which are not sufficiently described on ultrasound.
