Popis: Two newborns with duodenal atresia presented with the roentgenographic findings of duodenal dilatation and gas in the small bowel—a pattern which suggested partial small bowel obstruction.In one patient, a bifid termination of the common bile duct (one limb entering above, the other below the point of atresia) was found at autopsy. A similar anomaly was probably present in the other patient but could not be confirmed.A total of 6 patients have now been described in whom bifid termination of the hepatopancreatic ducts was associated with duodenal atresia; Boyden’s theory satisfactorily accounts for this complex of anomalies.The unique coincidence of diaphragmatic hernia (Bochdalek) and duodenal atresia was present in 1 of our patients.
