An infant who presented with signs of duodenal atresia had proximal duodenal obstruction
by upper gastrointestinal barium study, but had a small amount of air in the distal
bowel. Exploration showed an annular pancreas and microperforation of a duodenal diaphragm.
Prior to concluding that pancreaticobiliary duct anomalies are the path of air into
the distal bowel in patients with duodenal atresia, microperforation of a duodenal
diaphragm must be excluded.
