World J Gastroenterol. 2009 Mar 7;15(9):1144-6. doi: 10.3748/wjg.15.1144.

Abstract

Congenital duodenal obstruction is rare in adulthood. An unusual presentation of this condition has led to difficult preoperative diagnosis. We present a case of proximal jejunal obstruction by a congenital band in an adult and review the literature.
