title: Duodenal atresia with a deletion of midgut associated with left lung, kidney, and upper limb absences and right upper limb malformation.
abstract: Duodenal atresia with midgut deletion without abdominal wall defects is extremely rare. The authors report a newborn boy with this disease associated with left pulmonary, kidney, and upper limb absences and a contralateral upper limb malformation. At autopsy, agenesis of the arteries to such organs was confirmed. A fetal vascular disruption is presumed to be the main cause of these anomalies.
