Atypical presentation of concurrent duodenal web and malrotation

Abstract

Intestinal malrotation in neonates is well known with incidence of 1:500 and symptomatic incidence 1:6000 births. Duodenal web as a cause of intestinal obstruction is less common with incidence of 1:10000–1:40000. Intestinal obstruction due to duodenal web associated with malrotation is very rare and only few case reports published in the literature. In this report we present a case of a 2.5 year old female child with duodenal obstruction due to concurrent duodenal web and malrotation and discussed its management.
