DUODENAL

STENOSIS AND
ATRESIA

NAME :- KRITI JANGIR


GROUP :- 4
SUBJECT :- INFANT SURGERY
 Embryology
 The hepatobiliary system and pancreas form during the third
week of gestation, as the second portion of the duodenum
gives rise to biliary and pancreatic buds at the junction of the
foregut to the midgut.
 The duodenum also undergoes a solid phase during this time;
between the eighth and tenth weeks of gestation, the duodenal
lumen is reestablished by the gathering of vacuoles, and
recanalization occurs.
 Insults during this crucial period of development are believed
to result in failure of recanalization and consequent atresias,
stenoses, and webs.
 In addition, duodenal atresias have been associated with a
closely surrounding piece of pancreatic tissue.
 Whether this tissue is an annular pancreas or merely a failure
of duodenal development is debatable .
 Classification
 Esophageal atresia and
 the VATER (vertebral defects, anal atresia,
tracheoesophageal fistula with esophageal atresia, and
renal and radial anomalies) syndrome have also been
associated with duodenal atresia .
 Duodenal atresia is classified into three types: type I
(duodenal diaphragm) is linked to the presence of a
mucosal diaphragmatic membrane with an intact muscle
wall; type II (complete duodenal atresia) characterized
by a short fibrous cord connecting the two ends or
pouches of the duodenum; and type III (also complete
duodenal atresia) which corresponds to a complete
separation of the two ends of the duodenum, sometimes
together with annular pancreas.
 Diagnosis
 Prenatal ultrasonography :- such as a dilated stomach and
proximal duodenum.
 Polyhydramnios is suggestive of GI tract obstruction
because the fetus is unable to swallow the amniotic fluid.
 Common associated anomalies and chromosomal defects
may be assessed by screening maternal serum and
amniotic fluid.
 In the newborn, clear or bilious emesis is evident within
hours of birth, with or without abdominal distension. An
output of more than 20 mL of gastric contents is indicative
 Plain radiography is helpful and may reveal the classic
double bubble sign, representing air in the stomach and
proximal duodenum, which is associated with complete or
near complete duodenal obstruction.
 Gas within the intestine distal to the duodenum is
indicative of an incomplete obstruction.
 Upright and contrast radiography using air or contrast may
confirm the diagnosis.
 Treatment
 Gastric decompression is essential to prevent
aspiration, and thermoregulation should be
monitored at all times.
 When fluid resuscitation and a full assessment
have been accomplished, the neonate may proceed
to surgery

 Duodenoduodenostomy and duodenotomy


 OUTCOME
 An anastomotic leak, injury to the bile duct, and
sepsis are early complications.
 Late complications include peptic ulceration
secondary to alkaline reflux, blind-loop syndrome
due to duodenal stasis, and recurrent obstruction
 Recent long-term data demonstrated that a 9%
combined early and late mortality rate over an
average 6-year follow-up period was due almost
exclusively to associated congenital anomalies .
