AB  - Test  Taking  TipsRemember  typical  ages  at  presentation  for  various  congenital  disorders  that  may  manifest  in  a  similar  fashion  (e.g.,  duodenal  atresia  vs.  malrotation).  The  age  of  a  neonate  can  clue  you  in  to  the  probable  diagnosis.Many  pediatric  surgical  disorders  can  be  observed  for  possible  resolution.  Do  not  rush  toward  operative  intervention.  Examples  include  NEC,  umbilical  hernias,  hernias,  and  MEN  syndromes,  where  surgery  is  delayed  until  a  certain  age.Familiarize  yourself  with  imaging  characteristics  of  frequently  encountered  conditions,  as  they  are  often  included  in  the  question  stem,  such  as  duodenal  atresia,  Hirschsprung,  NEC  (will  typically  show  pneumatosis  intestinalis  or  free  intraperitoneal  air),  gastroschisis  vs.  omphalocele,  intussusception.
