Abstract
Congenital duodenal obstruction (CDO) is one of the most common anomalies in newborns and infants. In 38% to 55% of patients, intrinsic duodenal obstruction is associated with another significant congenital anomaly. The authors report on a retrospective study in children with CDO for a 10-year period. Seventy-seven patients were enrolled in this study. Age ranged from 1 day to 3 months. There were 44 males and 33 females. Weight ranged from 800 to 4.5 kg. Five babies (6.49%) were born prematurely. The follow-up period ranged from 6 months to 5 years. Patients were divided into 3 groups: duodenal atresia (32 patients), annular pancreas (30 patients), and duodenal web (15 patients). Fifty-two cases (67.5%) had other associated anomalies. Cardiac anomalies, Down syndrome, gastrointestinal anomalies, and renal anomalies were the most commonly occurring anomalies.
