Abstract

A case of three day old male infant with a congenital duodenal atresia (Diaphragmatic type, Preampullary type) is reported with brief literature review. The first signs were vomiting and abdominal distension. Because of the poor general condition of the patient surgical intervention was not possible. After three days admission the patient expired. The condition was confirmed clinically by X-ray and reconfirmed at autopsy.
