Atresia of an organ refers to the congenital absence or closure of a normal body opening or passage, often affecting hollow organs. This condition can occur in various organs, such as the esophagus, intestines, or genital tracts, leading to obstruction and impaired function. Atresia typically requires medical intervention, often surgical, to restore normal function or to create an alternative pathway for bodily processes. The severity and implications depend on the specific organ involved and the extent of the atresia.
