Double Jejunal Webs: A Rare cause of Severe Malnutrition

Abstract

Patients with type-I jejunal atresia usually presents early in newborn period, however if anomaly is associated with an aperture in the mucosal diaphragm, a delayed presentation with repeated episodes of vomiting and failure to thrive is not uncommon.[1] We report an infant who presented late with severe protein energy malnutrition and interestingly had double jejunal webs with central apertures.
