Ectopic pancreas as the cause of gastric outlet obstruction in a newborn.
This case of ectopic pancreas found in the pre-pyloric channel of a 2-day-old infant is unique. A review of the literature reveals no other cases of symptomatic ectopic pancreas in an infant of this age. In this patient, signs and symptoms were consistent with pyloric stenosis. Upper gastrointestinal study and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed the diagnosis. This case is examined and the literature is reviewed.
