Duodenal webs are a rare clinical entity with the presentation of a double duodenal web being exceedingly uncommon. Management of duodenal webs traditionally involves duodenal web excision with duodenoduodenostomy, which is usually performed via a laparoscopic or an open approach. We report the case of a 6-month-old child who presented with progressively worsening bilious emesis with imaging findings concerning for a duodenal web. Endoscopic evaluation was performed that identified 2 webs in the fourth portion of the duodenum. These were managed completely endoscopically with balloon dilation. Although surgery is the mainstay of treatment of duodenal webs, this patient was successfully managed by endoscopic intervention without the need for open or laparoscopic excision, which has not been previously described for double duodenal webs. This work demonstrates the safety and efficacy of endoscopic management for infants with this anomaly.
十二指肠蹼是一种罕见的临床实体,出现双十二指肠蹼的情况极为罕见。传统上,十二指肠蹼的治疗包括十二指肠蹼切除术加十二指肠十二指肠吻合术,通常通过腹腔镜或开放手术进行。我们报告了一例6个月大的儿童病例,该患儿出现进行性加重的胆汁性呕吐,影像学检查结果提示存在十二指肠蹼。进行了内镜评估,发现十二指肠第四段有2个蹼。通过球囊扩张完全在内镜下对其进行了处理。虽然手术是十二指肠蹼治疗的主要方法,但该患者通过内镜干预成功得到治疗,无需进行开放或腹腔镜切除,此前尚未有关于双十二指肠蹼的此类报道。这项工作证明了内镜治疗这种异常情况对婴儿的安全性和有效性。
