ABSTRACT
Congenital duodenal membrane is more frequently seen in the ampullary region and
is clinically expressed as intestinal obstruction in the neonatal period. In some
settings, the diagnosis of this clinical condition is glossed over when the membrane is
incomplete as it happens in fenestrated duodenal membrane. Consequently, its way
of presentation changes and thus the early diagnosis becomes difficult. There are
different therapeutic accesses to this disease, from open to endoscopic and laparoscopic ones. This is a nursling who was lately diagnosed as fenestrated
duodenal membrane case and was surgically treated through the laparoscopic access.
