Neonatal duodenal atresia with heterotopic pancreas: a case report and literature review
Given the potential association between HP and duodenal atresia in asymptomatic cases, we propose systematic screening for HP in all neonates with this condition. If identified, concurrent prophylactic resection of the HP lesion during the repair of duodenal atresia is recommended to mitigate the risk of long-term complications, including pancreatitis and gastrointestinal bleeding.
