ABSTRACT
A case of newborn with incomplete duodenal obstruction caused by superior mesenteric artery syndrome has been presented with this report. A full term, 1-day-old baby girl was referred to our hospital because of recurrent bilious vomiting since birth and upper gastrointestinal barium study revealed the incomplete obstruction at the 3rd part of the duodenum with a vertical abrupt cutoff. The diagnosis of superior mesenteric artery syndrome was made with ultrasonography and duodenojejunostomy was carried out. Although it is extremely rare, superior mesenteric artery syndrome should also be considered as one of the rare cause of incomplete duodenal obstruction in newborn period.
