In this paper it is proposed to produce evidence that certain cases of obstructive vomiting in the newborn , simulating examples of intrinsic duodenal stenosis or atresia, are instances of duodenal ileus from arterio-mesenteric compression and are amenable to medical treatment; and to urge that where, in this type of case, radiological or other examination shows that the duodenal obstruction is...

Concurrence of duodenal atresia and gastric duplication cyst is extremely rare entity. We report a 6-day-old female neonate who presented with neonatal intestinal obstruction. X-ray abdomen showed double bubble sign. At laparotomy, a huge cystic structure attached to greater curvature of the stomach along with duodenal atresia of second part of duodenum was found. The cystic structure was excis...

BACKGROUND Duodenal atresia is a common cause of intestinal obstruction in neonates. It is associated with other congenital anomalies like Down's syndrome, annular pancreas etc. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of a two days old male baby presented to us with bilious vomiting since birth. It was associated with Down's syndrome, Annular pancreas and Malrotation. CONCLUSION Duodenal atresi...

Internal hernias are a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. Paraduodenal hernias are the most common type of internal hernias. Although small bowel obstruction is associated with internal hernias, large bowel obstruction is unique. The authors here report a case of left para duodenal hernia with simultaneous small and large bowel obstruction and gangrene. The patient underwent emergency laparo...

The decision to perform surgical versus nonoperative palliation for unresectable pancreatic cancer is influenced by a number of factors. In most cases, patient symptoms clearly dictate the management. In patients with symptoms of duodenal obstruction at the time of presentation, surgery is the only option. In patients with obstructive jaundice alone, the options for management must be weighed a...

Duodenal duplications in adults are exceedingly rare and their diagnosis remains difficult as symptoms are largely nonspecific. Clinical presentations include pancreatitis, biliary obstruction, gastrointestinal bleeding from ectopic gastric mucosa, and malignancy. A case of duodenal duplication in a 59-year-old female is presented, and her treatment course is reviewed with description of combin...

BACKGROUND Possibly any tumor that can cause mechanical obstruction of the distal bile duct can induce acute pancreatitis. However, acute pancreatitis as the first clinical manifestation of duodenal lymphoma is extremely rare. OBJECTIVE To report the case of a patient with acute pancreatitis as an extremely rare first manifestation of duodenal MALT lymphoma and possible association with eryth...

Background Heterotaxy syndrome (HS) is characterized by a wide variety of cardiac and extra-cardiac malformations, including pulmonary valve stenosis, interruption of the inferior vena cava, total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC), asplenia, polysplenia, intestinal malrotation, and preduodenal portal vein (PDPV). We report the case of a heterotaxic infant with an infracardiac TAPVC ...

Bouveret's syndrome is a rare cause of gastric outlet obstruction. Its diagnosis is often delayed or overlooked. It is characterized by the passage of a large gall bladder stone through a bilio-duodenal fistula, which becomes lodged in the duodenum causing duodenal obstruction. We report the case of a 70-year-old male with a history suggestive of gall bladder disease over a 1-year period. The d...

Primary non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) of the duodenum is an uncommon primary tumor of the gastrointestinal tract which accounts for less than 12% of all NHL [1,2]. Obstruction is a preterminal event. A decision-analytic model comparing open gastrojejunostomy, laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy, and endoscopic stenting for malignant gastroduodenal obstruction showed that self-expandable metal stent (...
