Note that the double bubble sign is typically pathologic however it is not specific for duodenal atresia and may indicate other pathologies such as annular pancreas or midgut volvulus. [9] A limited upper gastrointestinal series using barium contrast can be used to differentiate between duodenal atresia and midgut volvulus. [10]
High obstruction can be suspected based on the double bubble sign. Cases without distal gas are usually related to duodenal atresia, while high obstruction with distal gas need an upper gastrointestinal series because of the need to distinguish duodenal web , duodenal stenosis and annular pancreas from midgut volvulus , the latter being a ...
