APSP J Case Rep. 2016 Apr 24;7(2):16. eCollection 2016 May-Jun.

Abstract

Duodenal atresia is the frequent cause of neonatal intestinal obstruction. The association between duodenal atresia, intestinal malrotation, cardiac anomalies and Down syndrome is infrequently reported. We present a prenatally suspected case of duodenal atresia which was associated with malrotation and atrial septal defect in a patient of Down syndrome. Duodenotomy and resection of web was performed in addition to Ladd's procedure. Postoperative course remained uneventful.

Keywords: Atrial septal defect; Down's syndrome; Duodenal atresia; Malrotation.
