CDO in the context of pregnancy refers to Congenital Duodenal Obstruction.
Congenital Duodenal Obstruction (CDO) is a condition where a baby is born with a blockage in the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. According to research, duodenal atresia, a type of CDO, occurs in approximately 1 per 5000–10,000 live births [1]. CDO can be classified into two categories: complete congenital duodenal obstruction (CCDO) and incomplete congenital duodenal obstruction (ICDO) [1].
Key Aspects of CDO:
- Definition: A birth defect where the duodenum is blocked.
- Types: Can be complete (CCDO) or incomplete (ICDO) obstruction.
- Frequency: Duodenal atresia, a common form of CDO, occurs in about 1 in 5000–10,000 live births [1].
