Abstract EN
Background.
The presence of distal bowel gas in an infant does not exclude the diagnosis of duodenal atresia.
Case Presentation.
We report a term neonate with Down syndrome.
The infant developed vomiting and cyanosis with each feeding soon after birth.
Plain film abdominal X-rays showed a nonspecific gas-filled stomach and small bowel.
Duodenal atresia and an anomalous common bile were noted on an upper GI study and exploratory laparotomy.
Conclusion.
In the absence of a “double bubble” appearance and intestinal gas distally on a plain radiograph, one must not exclude duodenal atresia as the differential diagnosis.
