Abstract
Combined duodenal and jejunal atresia is extremely uncommon. The famil iar occurrence of congenital duodenal and small bowel atresia is even more unusual. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of t wo siblings with simultaneous duodenal and jejunal atresia who underwe nt successful surgical repair. The report may support the genetic orig in of some forms of high intestinal atresia. Copyright (C) 1996 by W.B . Saunders Company
