Abstract
in English, French

Duodenal diaphragm is one of the rare types of duodenal atresia described, causing intestinal obstruction in the neonatal period. It is caused by embryological factors. We report the case of a 17-day-old newborn hospitalized and treated for duodenal obstruction at the University clinics in Lubumbashi and whose intraoperative finding was duodenal diaphragm. Evolution was good after surgery.

Le diaphragme duodénal est l’une de rare forme d’atrésie duodénale décrite, qui provoque l’occlusion intestinale pendant la période néonatale. La cause est embryologique. Les auteurs rapportent le cas d’un nouveau-né de 17 jours, hospitalisé et prise en charge aux cliniques universitaires de Lubumbashi pour occlusion duodénale et dont le constat per opératoire était un diaphragme duodénal. Son évolution était bonne après l’intervention chirurgicale.

Keywords: Neonatal obstruction; duodenal diaphragm; surgical management.
