Abstract
The authors describe a case of duodenal atresia occurring in two siblings. It is possible that the third sibling also died after complications of the same malformation. This familial occurrence may support the hypothesis that this anomaly is determined by an autosomal-recessive gene.
Keywords: Duodenal atresia
