Abstract
We report this unusual case of a one-day-old infant who presented with hematemesis and was found to have congenital duodenal web, The Diagnosis was made by Upper GI Imaging and Endoscopy and management was done by surgical repair. Congenital duodenal obstruction carries a risk of duodenitis in newborns, and they may present with acute hematemesis. The management includes early surgery to relieve the obstruction.
