ABSTRACT:
Anorectal Malformations are known to be
associated with various other congenital anomalies including duodenal atresia.
An association of congenital intrinsic duodenal obstruction causing partial
duodenal obstruction in a patient with anorectal malformation is not described
in literature. We describe a case of delayed presentation of congenital intrinsic
duodenal obstruction in a child with high-type anorectal malformations causing
diagnostic dilemma.
