| Case | | |
A 3-day-old male neonate presented with multiple episodes of bilious vomiting for one day. The neonate was born at 38 completed weeks through vaginal route and did not require any resuscitation after birth. The baby was on exclusive breastfeeding after birth. Antenatal ultrasonography was done at 18 weeks and 32 weeks were normal. The abdominal radiograph was suggestive of a double bubble appearance and presence of some bowel gas in the left lower abdomen [Figure 1]. Ultrasonography of the abdomen revealed a superior mesenteric vein with the mesentery swirling around a centrally placed superior mesenteric artery [Figure 2].
