Abstract
Persistent bile-stained vomiting in a neonate led to a radiologic work up that revealed the existence of a situs inversus and a partial duode nal obstruction. A duodenal diaphragm with a central aperture was diag nosed. Surgery confirmed the preoperative diagnosis. In addition, an a nnular pancreas with an anterior gap and a right parietocolic internal hernia containing all the small bowel were discovered. Embryologic as pects, therapeutic options, and the literature were discussed.
