Chronic duodenal obstruction related to a congenital web is a rare anomaly, and is sometimes difficult to diagnose preoperatively. A case of partial duodenal obstruction by a foreign body in a 10-year-old girl with a congenital duodenal web is presented. She had a year history of intermittent epigastric discomfort without nausea, vomiting or growth retardation. Upper gastrointestinal series and gastroduodenoscopy disclosed a perforated web in the 2nd portion of the duodenum and a dark go stone just proximal to the web. The web was partly excised through a longitudinal duodenotomy crossing over the web. The Ampulla of Vater was located at 7 o'clock on the posterior surface of the duodenal web and was preserved. The duodenum was closed in transverse fashion. In cases of a longstanding duodenal foreign body, a congenital web should be considered.

저자들은 출생 후부터 1년에 수 회 반복되는 담즙이 포함된 사출성 구토가 있었던 9세 여아에서 발견된 십이지장 격막과 동반된 장이상회전 1례를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이며, 장의 완전 폐쇄가 아닌 경우에는 년장아에서도 선천성 장폐쇄의 소견이 나타날 수 있으므로 구토가 심하게 반복되는 경우에는 항상 주의깊게 감별진단해야 한다.

Congenital duodenal obstruction is a one of the emergent surgical conditions in neonates. Almost of them were diagnosed with double-bubble sign in prenatal ultrasonography. However, partial obstruction caused from duodenal web could be overlooked. We reported a duodenal web in early childhood. A three-year-old girl visited at our pediatric clinic for constipation. She had been showed non-bilious vomiting after weaning meal since 6 months old of her age, but her weight was relevant for 50-75 percentile of growth curve. Barium enema was initially checked, but any abnormal finding was not found. We noticed the severely distended stomach and 1st portion of duodenum. Upper gastrointestinal series revealed partial obstruction in 2nd portion of duodenum. After laparotomy, we found the transitional zone of duodenum and identified a duodenal web via duodenotomy. We performed duodeno-duodenostomy without any injury of ampulla of Vater. She was recovered uneventfully. During 6 months after operation, she does well without any gastrointestinal symptoms or signs, such as vomiting or constipation.
