Abstract

This is a report of an unusual case of a congenital diaphragm with a central aperture situated in the region of gastroduodenal junction. Small swallowed foreign bodies failed to negotiate it and caused obstruction. Excision of the diaphragm and pyloroplasty relieved the symptoms completely.
