Abstract
Over the period 1980-1989, 49 patients with congenital duodenal obstruction due to duodenal atresia, duodenal stenosis or annular pancreas were treated. There were three deaths, all related to associated severe congenital anomalies and none related to surgery for duodenal obstruction; 78 per cent of the patients had associated congenital anomalies which, in some instances, complicated their management. Prenatal diagnosis by ultrasonography was made in 18 per cent of the patients and these patients had operations relatively earlier.
