| Abstract [eng] |
Background / objective Preduodenal portal vein (PDPV) is a rare congenital anomaly. There are only 80 cases described in the world literature. The presence of this anomaly is rarely recognized as an emergency condition, and it can manifest as duodenal obstruction in very few patients. The aim of our study was to descibe this uncommon reason for duodenal obstruction and to share experience in recognizing and treating this pathology. Patients and methods Authors present two cases of duodenal obstruction caused by the preduodenal portal vein and associated with the inverted gastric and spleen position and malrotation of the gut. Results A male newborn and a 1 yr 4 mon old girl were operated on due to duodenal obstruction caused by the preduodenal portal vein. Both patients received a duodenoduodenostomy procedure. The recovery was uneventful. The patients became free of symptoms, returned to oral feeds, started to thrive. Conclusions Duodenoduodenostomy is a safe and effective procedure in treating duodenal obstruction caused by the preduodenal portal vein. |
