44
Q

annular pancreas and duodenal atresia are hard to distinguish without

A

imaging

45
Q

why can focal obstruction of the GI tract occur in almost any small lumen?

A

luminal occlusion by endoderm -> recanalization

recanalization failure = obstruction

46
Q

recanalization errors can cause

5

A
  1. cysts
  2. duplications
  3. septa formation

56
Q

about half of babies with omphaloceles have trisomy of
