We report a rare case of incomplete congenital duodenal obstruction (Type 1 duodenal atresia) in association with situs inversus totalis presenting with gastric perforation in a neonate. The infantogram was suggestive of perforation with air under diaphragm along with dextrocardia. On exploration, a pin point perforation at fundus near lesser curvature along with situs inversus was noted. Primary closure of gastric perforation was done. Patient was then discharged on full breast feeds but was readmitted with intolerance to feeds and recurrent bilious vomiting. Further, upper GI contrast study revealed partial duodenal obstruction. On re-exploration, duodenal web with central aperture was seen and duodeno-duodenostomy was done.

Aim: To study the prevalence of associated anomalies with neonatal duodenal obstruction and factors impacting short-term survival.Material and methods: Records of 31 neonates with neonatal duodenal obstruction could be retrieved and analyzed for a 13.5-year-period (October 2003-May 2016). M:F ratio was 1.58:1. The mean birth weight was 2.15 kg; 12 patients were preterm. Etiologies included duodenal atresia (n=23), duodenal web (n=8) and malrotation of gut (n= 6).Results: Associated anomalies were seen in 19/31: Down’s syndrome (n=6), anorectal malformation (ARM) (n=5), annular pancreas (n=5), cardiac anomalies (n=4), esophageal atresia with trachea-esophageal fistula (EA with TEF) (n=3). Mortality in the series was 22.5%; 5 deaths and 2 patients left against medical advice in moribund state (hidden mortality). Mortality in associated anomalies group was 5/19; and 2/12 in the no anomalies group, though this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.676). Similarly, low birth weight (LBW) did not have impact on survival (p=0.639) but preterm status had highly significant p value (Conclusion: Duodenal atresia was the commonest cause of neonatal duodenal obstruction. Associated anomalies were noted in 61% patients, Down’s syndrome being the most frequent. These anomalies did not have any significant impact on the survival, nor did LBW. Preterm status had significant impact on prognosis.

A review is presented of 503 patients with congenital duodenal obstruction, compiled from 65 hospitals by the Surgical Section of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Four hundred eighty-seven patients underwent primary operative correction of the malformation with an overall early and late mortality rate of 36%. Complications from associated major congenital malformations were the leading cause of death. Many of these anomalies were potentially correctable had they been recognized and early treatment instituted. More than half of the infants with duodenal atresia had associated malformations. Thirty percent of the patients had Down's syndrome. End-to-side or side-to-side duodenoduodenostomy or jejunostomy are the most commonly used operative techniques for duodenal atresia. General anesthesia and tube gastrostomy are usually employed.

Abstract Background and study aims A 72-year-old man with complete situs inversus presented with early gastric cancer on the lesser curvature wall of the antrum of the stomach. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was selected as a treatment. When the patient was positioned in the left decubitus position, the lesion was hidden by blood and gastric fluid because it was located on the gravitational side. Therefore, we decided to perform ESD with the patient in the right lateral decubitus position and use an inverted overtube, which provided a good endoscopic view without the need to rearrange the endoscopist, assistants, or endoscopic system. ESD was safe and feasible using the inverted overtube.

One of the causes of congenital incomplete duodenal obstruction is the presence of congenital duodenal web with fenestration. This condition requires a high index of suspicion for an early and accurate diagnosis. We present an unusual presentation of duodenal web in a 6-year-old girl who presented with a 3-year history of cyclical and seasonal vomiting and abdominal pain. The diagnosis of congenital duodenal web with fenestration was made on contrast study and endoscopy and was treated surgically by incision of the web.

Abstract Purpose: In infants, the duodenum is the most frequently obstructed region of the gastrointestinal tract. The objective of the present study was to summarise the causes of early mortality and morbidity in infants with congenital duodenal obstruction (CDO). Methods: Data on a total of 94 patients with CDO diagnosed in our clinic, and treated surgically between January 1993 and December 2012, were studied retrospectively. Patients were divided into three groups in terms of diagnosis: annular pancreas (n = 45), duodenal atresia (n = 31), and duodenal web (n = 18). The groups were compared in terms of sex, birth weight, age at the time of operation, and morbidity and mortality rates. Results: Of the patients, 54 were males and 40 females, and the mean birth weight was 2,278 (range, 1,180-3,400) g. The average age at the time of the operation was 6.96 (range 1-38) days. The time to full oral intake postoperatively was 10.32 (range, 4-38) days. Additional anomalies were found in 61 (64.8%) cases. Early morbidity was most commonly associated with an anastomosis problem. Early mortality occurred in 6 (6.4%) cases, and the most common causes were sepsis and cardiac anomalies. Conclusions: Elimination of sepsis, cardiac anomalies, and anastomosis problems are critical to ensure continued reductions in infant mortality and morbidity caused by CDO.

Background: Congenital duodenal obstruction is a broad term that refers to a variety of disorders like duodenal atresia, duodenal stenosis, annular pancreas, duodenal membrane and preduodenal portal vein. The aim of this study was to analyse in detail the entire clinical profile of duodenal obstruction and to study the short-term outcome.Methods: A prospective descriptive study was conducted in the Department of Paediatric Surgery, Institute of child Health and Hospital for Children, Egmore, Chennai, among all babies with suspected duodenal obstruction based on clinical symptoms and subsequently proven by surgery from September 2013 to January 2015. Fifty babies were selected for this study based on the eligibity criteria.Results: Upper gastrointestinal contrast radiography is the gold standard investigation in diagnosing duodenal membrane with a hole. The type of surgery such as the duodenoplasty, duodenoduodenostomy or duodenojejunal anastomosis did not affect the post-op outcome.Conclusions: Long term follow up is warranted to know the actual incidence of requirement for redo procedure for feed intolerance. The presence of coexisting Down’s syndrome and congenital cardiac lesions increases the mortality rate in these children.
