| Abstract | ||
| This is a prospective study that was carried out on 50 patients at the central teaching hospital for children in Baghdad, 20 males and 30 females. Their age ranged from 1-60 days with body weight ranged from 1.8-3.5 Kg., eight patients were premature. The study revealed atresia in 15 (30%) cases, stenosis in 12 (24%) cases, malrotation in 10 (20%) cases, and annular pancreas in 7 (14%) cases. prenatal ultrasound diagnosed 3 patients. Bilious vomiting was the commonest presenting symptom (42 patients (84%)), associated congenital anomalies were found in 18 (36%) patients. Down syndrome was found in 10 (20%) patients, maternal polyhydramnios was observed in 20 (40%) patients and in one patient there was a family history of previous anomalies. Low birth weight and prematurity significantly affect the outcome, associated anomalies account for most of the morbidity and mortality and early diagnosis result in better outcome. | ||
