  • Title: Double duodenal atresia/stenosis: a report of four cases.
    Author: Stringer MD, Brereton RJ, Drake DP, Wright VM.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 1992 May; 27(5):576-80. PubMed ID: 1625124.
    Abstract:
    Four neonates with double duodenal atresia/stenosis are described. Preoperative plain radiographs in two patients demonstrated atypical appearances suggestive of complex pathology. Cystic dilatation of the second part of the duodenum was observed at laparotomy in two patients and in one of these the "cyst" was palpable preoperatively, causing diagnostic confusion. All four patients underwent successful surgery but one infant with Down's syndrome subsequently died of congenital heart disease.
