Abstract:
The presence of gas in the wall of the stomach in a child is a rare condition and usually indicates necrotising enterocolitis. We report a case of gastric emphysema in a 20-day-old baby girl with duodenal obstruction due to a congenital duodenal diaphragm. This association is extremely rare and has been described only once in the literature.
