Transdiaphragmatic duodenal duplication in a premature infant.
A case of transdiaphragmatic duodenal duplication in a premature infant is presented. Vertebral abnormalities, which have invariably accompanied this disorder in reported cases so far, were characteristically absent. Therefore, the initial tentative diagnosis was right-sided diaphragmatic hernia. Barium examination was helpful in preoperative diagnosis.
