there was a significant delay in the diagnosis in all cases ( except a neonate in the series ) , and no case was diagnosed on clinical grounds alone.the predisposing factors ( except the clinical misdiagnosis of the neonate ) in six of the seven cases that came to surgery were : diaphragmatic hernia and perigastritis ( left lung abscess , thoracic empyema ) , arteriomesenteric compression of the duodenum in pregnancy ( peptic ulcer ) , splenomegaly ( hepatosplenomegaly , ascites , esophageal varices ) , previous gastrojejunostomy ( stomal ulcer , left subphrenic abscess ) and two cases of intestinal malrotation with mesenteric abnormalities ( small bowel obstruction in one and duodenal atresia in the other ) .
