This report documents a new endoscopic management modality for congenital membranous stenosis in the third portion of the duodenum. Standard approaches to duodenal stenosis in newborns include a laparotomy with an enteroenterostomy, bypassing the obstruction, or a duodenoduodenostomy with excision. We successfully developed a modification of the endoscopic treatment modality for congenital duodenal diaphragm. Keywords : congenital duodenal stenosis, endoscopy
