A 4-day-old male, full-term neonate presenting with bilious emesis. (a) Anteroposterior chest and abdomen radiograph (“babygram”) shows high-grade proximal bowel obstruction. The stomach and proximal duodenum are markedly distended (double-headed arrow); there is a paucity of bowel gas in the remainder of the abdomen. (b, c) Anteroposterior and lateral upper GI series show a distended stomach with contrast passing unobstructed across the pylorus (dotted arrow). Enteric contrast is seen freely progressing into the proximal duodenum with a discrete cut-off and blunted, rounded appearance of the opacified duodenum (arrows).
