Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE
Congenital obstruction of duodenojejunal junction is a rare unexplored pathologic entity. Most of the cases reported so far are regarding extrinsic band or narrower attachment of ligament of Treitz, which will be presenting with vomiting in neonates and children without malrotation.
CASE PRESENTATION
Author is reporting here two rare cases of congenital intrinsic duodenojejunal junctional obstruction and their management in toddlers.
CLINICAL DISCUSSION
Duodenojejunal junction, is an embryologically, pathologically and radiographically, yet unexplored region except anatomically and surgically. Only few pathologies have been described in this region so far CONCLUSION: An abnormal embryogenesis could be speculated and contemplated to be the reason for such rare congenital duodeno jejunal junctional obstruction which should be managed promptly as per required surgical techniques.
