Abstract
- A duodenal diaphragm is rare congenital anomaly among the duodenal obstructions. Its symptoms and signs usually appear from birth if the obstruction is complete. However, a diagnosis may be delayed until the patient reaches adulthood in cases of an incomplete obstruction. Treatment of an adult duodenal diaphragm is usually surgical. To our knowledge, there are few reports of the endoscopic treatment of an adult duodenal diaphragm but none in Korea. We report a duodenal diaphragm in a 26- year-old female with epigastric pain, who was treated with an endoscopic membranotomy using an insulated tip knife.
