Delayed Presentation of Jejunal Atresia

Type I intestinal atresias (webs) are rare causes of gastrointestinal obstruction in infants, the most common site being the second portion of the duodenum. According to the Louw and Barnard classification, type 1 atresia has been defined as an intra-luminal web which results in either complete (web...

description Type I intestinal atresias (webs) are rare causes of gastrointestinal obstruction in infants, the most common site being the second portion of the duodenum. According to the Louw and Barnard classification, type 1 atresia has been defined as an intra-luminal web which results in either complete (web with no perforation) or incomplete (web with central perforation) intestinal obstruction. The jejunum is a rare site of such webs. Diagnosis of an incompletely obstructing web due to central perforation is usually difficult and challenging. We present two cases of jejunal web with a central perforation in which the presentation was delayed. Both were managed by excision of the web.
