Abstract
Duodenal atresia and stenosis are a common cause of congenital bowel obstruction. Duodenal web is rare, and is a type of congenital duodenal obstruction that occurs by abnormal embryological foregut development. Children with duodenal web are frequently presented with persistent vomiting, abdominal distention and growth retardation. Barium passage graphy and endoscopy are helpful in the diagnosis. In this article, we report an infant with duodenal web who had been investigated because of persistent vomiting and growth retardation, and who was misdiagnosed as gastroesophageal reflux.
