Abstract |
Annular pancreas is unusual cause of duodenal obstruction in neonatal period in which,
pancreatic tissue forms a partial obstruction or complete ring encircling the duodenum.
It develops as a result of malrotation or overgrowth of ventral anlage of the embryonic
pancreas and frequently associated with other congenital anomalies. Since the first description by
Tiedman in 1818 and first sucessful (surgical treatmetn) by Vidal in 1905 about 300 cases have been reported
in the literratures. We experianced one case of annular pancreas accompanying duodenal stenosis with
complete obstructing symptoms immediatly after birth. We report this case with brief review of literatures.
