Duodenal atresia and stenosis
• Vacuolation due to degeneration of the epithelial cells during
the 11th week of gestation then leads to recanalization of the
duodenum
• An embryologic insult during this period can lead to an
intrinsic web, atresia, or stenosis.
• The extrinsic form of duodenal obstruction is due to defects
in the development of neighboring structures such as the
pancreas, a preduodenal portal vein, or secondary
to malrotation and Ladd’s bands.34,35

Annular Pancreas
• Annular pancreas is an uncommon etiology for duodenal
obstruction
• It forms of obstruction is likely due to failure of duodenal
development rather than a true constricting lesion
• Thus, the presence of an annular pancreas is simply a visible
indicator for an underlying stenosis or atresia
• Between the fourth and eighth weeks of gestation, the
pancreatic buds merge

Annular Pancreas
• In annular pancreas, the tip of the ventral pancreas
becomes fixed to the duodenal wall forming a
nondistensible, ring-like or annular portion of
pancreatic tissue surrounding the descending part of
the duodenum.
• In annular pancreas associated with duodenal
obstruction, the distal biliary tree is often abnormal
and may open proximal or distal to the atresia or
stenosis

Preoperative management
• X-ray
• Cardiac and renal ultrasound should be carried out
routinely in all these babies
• A micturating cystourethrogram abnormal
urogenital ultrasound or an associated anorectal
anomaly.
• Once the diagnosis is established early surgical
exploration
• Nasogastric decompression and fluid and electrolyte
replacement
• Preserve body heat and avoid hypoglycemia
Management
• Duodenal atresia, stenosis, and annular pancreas the
recommended surgical procedure bypass the obstruction
by duodenoduodenostomy.
• Duodenoduodenostomy either side-to-side fashion or
proximal transverse to distal longitudinal (diamond shape)
anastomosis
• In both surgical techniques, the downstream
duodenum patency passing a catheter or infusing saline to
examine the distal bowel for other associated atresia or
luminal
COMPLICATIONS
• Dalla Vecchia et al 138 patients reported
Low early complication rate:
anastomotic obstruction in 3%
congestive heart failure in 9%
prolonged adynamic ileus in 4%
pneumonia in 5%
and wound infection in 3%
COMPLICATIONS
• Late complications include
– adhesive bowel obstruction in 9%
– megaduodenum with duodenal dysmotility that
required tapering duodenoplasty in 4%
– duodenogastro esophageal refl ux (GERD)
requiring surgery in 5% of cases.
