Preduodenal Portal Vein: A Cause of Duodenal Obstruction in One Case and Incidental Finding in Another

Preduodenal portal vein is rare congenital anomaly that is usually associated with other gastrointestinal, cardiac, pancreatic and biliary anomalies. There are few case reports in the literature about this anomaly. Two cases of PDPV presented to Assiut university children hospital with manifestation of duodenal obstruction without being diagnosed either antenatal or preoperatively. Although rare; PDPV should always be suspected in all cases of duodenal obstruction. *Corresponding author: Almoutaz A Eltayeb MD, Pediatric surgery unit, Assiut university children hospital, Egypt, Tel: 00201221657863; E-mail: [email protected] Received December 04, 2011; Accepted January 31, 2012; Published February 06, 2012 Citation: Atahan K, Çökmez A, Durak E, Tarcan E (2012) Fistulojejunostomy in the Management of Chronic External Biliary Fistula.
