SummaryCongenital duodenal anomalies like atresia, stenosis and web or diaphragm commonly present in the neonatal age with signs of intestinal obstruction. Duodenal webs can sometimes present in early infancy and very rarely beyond infancy. The authors present a case of congenital duodenal web with a very small central aperture in a 2-year-old child with presenting features of persistent vomiting and resultant failure to thrive without any overt signs of intestinal obstruction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
