Arteriomesenteric Duodenal Obstruction in the Newborn Infant

MAX T. TAYLOR M.D.1 and RICHARD J. HOLLANDER M.D.1

1 Martin Army Hospital, Fort Benning, Georgia

An unusual cause of duodenal obstruction in the newborn infant has been presented. Two cases have been cited from the literature. Diagnoses must be based on symptoms of vomiting with a failure to gain weight, supported by x-ray findings of a dilated duodenum. Lymphadenopathy in the small bowel mesentery, following diarrhea, may have been the inciting cause. Treatment consists of a side-to-side duodenojejunostomy.
