Key Points

The aim is to highlight the association between Down syndrome and concealed gastrointestinal disorders, particularly duodenal stenosis.
Detailed clinical evaluation of the patient with a focus on gastrointestinal symptoms and history.
Assessment of the congenital anomaly following foreign body ingestion.
Review of literature on Down syndrome and associated gastrointestinal conditions.
Duodenal stenosis was diagnosed after the patient's foreign body ingestion led to symptoms.
The case demonstrates the potential for mild stenosis to remain undetected until later in life.
Emphasizes the need for careful assessment in individuals with Down syndrome for possible congenital anomalies.

Implication

Case study reveals undetected duodenal stenosis in a patient with Down syndrome, indicating possible diagnostic challenges.

Abstract

Down syndrome is frequently associated with congenital anomalies, among which gastrointestinal disorders are relatively common. Duodenal stenosis and atresia typically present in the neonatal period; however, mild stenosis may remain asymptomatic and undetected until adolescence or adulthood.
