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.

Palabras clave : duodenal obstruction; fenestrated duodenal membrane; congenital duodenal stenosis; biliary vomit in newborn.
