Case Reports[Delayed diagnosis of congenital membranous stenosis of the duodenum (author's transl)].
A 12 year old boy with Down's syndrome is described who had a congenital membranous duodenal stenosis. Although the boy had been vomiting from birth and normal feeding was impossible, the diagnosis was made only at the age of 6 years when radiographs were taken because he had swallowed foreign bodies. ⋯ At operation stenosis of the duodenum was confirmed, some coins were removed which had settled proximal to it, the membrane was excised and the duodenum, plit longitudinally, sutured transversely. The postoperative course was smooth and now the boy is very fit.
