Summary
Duodenal webs causing intestinal obstruction are rare, especially outside the duodenum's second part. This study reports three newborns with duodenal webs in unusual locations, including the third part and the duodeno-jejunal junction.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Gastroenterology
- Neonatal Medicine
Background:
- Duodenal atresia is a common cause of neonatal intestinal obstruction.
- Duodenal webs are an infrequent cause of obstruction, typically found in the second part of the duodenum.
Observation:
- This report details three neonates presenting with duodenal webs.
- The observed locations of the duodenal webs were atypical.
Findings:
- One neonate had a duodenal web in the third part of the duodenum.
- Two neonates had duodenal webs at the duodeno-jejunal junction.
Implications:
- These findings highlight rare anatomical variations of duodenal webs.
- Expanding the understanding of duodenal web locations is crucial for accurate diagnosis and surgical planning in neonates.
- Further case reports may elucidate the full spectrum of duodenal web presentations.
