Abstract
Background: Simultaneous occurrence of duodenal atresia, annular pancreas, and situs inversus totalis is an exceedingly rare clinical condition. This may pose management-related challenges to the treating surgeon. Case Presentation: We report a case with a preoperative diagnosis of duodenal atresia and situs inversus. Intraoperatively, an annular pancreas encircling the duodenum was found. Instead of duodenoduodenostomy, a duodenojejunal anastomosis was performed. The postoperative course remained uneventful. The patient is doing fine on a 6-month follow-up. Conclusion: The simultaneous presence of multiple anomalies in this patient prompted us to utilize an alternative approach to relieve the duodenal obstruction. This report highlights the importance of tailoring surgical decisions based on the individualized needs of the patient.
