Passariello A et al. J Neonatal Surg. .

Abstract

Duodenal diaphragm is an unusual cause of upper intestinal obstruction. We present here a neonate with duodenal diaphragm who presented with features of metabolic alkalosis. Further, an algorithm of management of metabolic alkalosis in a newborn is suggested.

Keywords: Metabolic alkalosis; Neonatal surgery; Urinary electrolytes concentration.
