Duodenal obstruction is one of the most common congenital anomalies. Both intrinsic (atresia, web and stenosis) or extrinsic lesions (malrotation, peritoneal bands, intestinal duplication, anterior portal vein and annular pancreas) may be involved. It usually presents within the first week of life with vomiting. We report an unusual congenital duodenal obstruction in a 8-month-old female with atypical symptoms due to a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic lesions.

Delayed presentation of Duodenal Obstruction is a great diagnostic dilemma due to non-specific, varied & wide spectrum presentation. In this study, a 6 years female child presented with recurrent, intermittent, colicky abdominal pain with bilious vomiting, and occasional constipation from 9 months of her age, without having any significant family history or associated condition. She was initially diagnosed as a case of recurrent small bowel obstruction due to atypical variant of malrotation. But, after laparotomy, she was finally diagnosed as a case of recurrent duodenal obstruction due to Congenital Duodenal Web (Wind-Soak Variety) with a central hole in the fourth part of the duodenum. After uneventful recovery of post operative period the patient was discharged at 7th postoperative day & followed up upto 3 months. She had been found alright without any complication.

Duodenal obstruction is an infrequent but potentially fatal complication of strongyloidiasis infection. Strongyloides stercoralis can clinically manifest in a broad variety of ways and lacks a classic clinical syndrome, which makes the diagnosis of strongyloidiasis difficult. The diagnosis is usually delayed and made by duodenal aspirate, duodenal biopsy, and/or postoperative biopsy specimen of the resection stricture segment. We present a case of partial duodenal obstruction caused by S. stercoralis. A 46-year-old man had presented with repeated bilious vomiting for 12 days. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed ulceronodular mucosa with luminal compromise at the second part of the duodenum. Abdominal computed tomography scan also showed a wall thickening with luminal narrowing of the second and third part of the duodenum. Duodenal mucosal biopsy revealed larval forms of S. stercoralis.
