Overview
The authors describe the case of a girl, several times examined during infancy and early toddler age forrecurrent vomiting and regurgitation. Although vomiting occurred with various frequency nearly from delivery,the definitive diagnosis was made at the age of 16 months, during preoperative duodenoscopy. It was a congenitalduodenal intrinsic web, with a 5mm wide aperture, situated in the centre of the membrane. The proximalduodenum near the stenosis was dilatated. The girl was treated surgically with discision and partial resection ofthe intraluminal membrane by preservation of the papilla of Vater. The postoperative course was uneventful. Shehas no problems of the gastrointestinal tract today.
