Summary
This case report details a rare instance of non-classified duodenal atresia in an infant. Surgical intervention involved duodenoduodenostomy and web excision, highlighting the importance of thorough exploration for additional atresias.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Gastrointestinal Surgery
- Congenital Malformations
Background:
- Duodenal atresia is a congenital anomaly requiring surgical correction.
- While common types are well-recognized, rare variations present diagnostic and surgical challenges.
Observation:
- A neonate presented with suspected duodenal atresia.
- Intraoperative findings revealed Type 3 duodenal atresia with a distal web between the second and third duodenal segments.
Findings:
- The patient underwent successful duodenoduodenostomy and web excision.
- No other congenital anomalies were identified in this patient.
Implications:
- This case underscores the importance of meticulous intraoperative assessment for duodenal atresia.
- Surgeons must consider and rule out associated duodenal webs or secondary atresias before definitive repair.
