Fig. 2. Duodenal atresia.

Fig. 2.

A 1-day-old female patient presented with abdominal distension. (a) Anteroposterior abdominal radiograph demonstrating gas-distended stomach and proximal duodenum (arrow) with no bowel gas seen distally. (b) Transverse real-time ultrasound examination revealed apparent dilation of the stomach and duodenal bulb (arrow) consistent with duodenal atresia. Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and superior mesenteric vein (SMV) are shown (arrows). SMV is slightly to the left than expected of its normal location likely due to the mass effect from dilated duodenum.
