Abstract
A duodenal septum or membrane is the most common type of duodenal atresia (type I). It can manifest in infancy if the membrane is perforated (fenestrated). However, fenestrated duodenal septa pose a diagnostic challenge for pediatric surgeons due to their variable clinical presentation.
This report presents a clinical case of membranous duodenal atresia with a late diagnosis.
