INTRODUCTION: Strangulation of the intestine as the result of compression of its blood supply in a tightly closed gastroschisis defect is a very rare occurrence.CLINICAL CASES: We present the cases of two newborn patients who had extra-abdominal infarcted bowel and intra-abdominal jejunal atresia due to vascular compression for gastroschisis defect. One was associated with colonic, probably acquired aganglionosis. Both had similar clinical courses.CONCLUSIONS: This association is very uncommon. Prognosis of this complex is very poor.
