Intraluminal post bulbar duodenal masses in children may be solid or cystic, congenital, neoplastic or post traumatic. The aim of this educational exhibit is to present the imaging findings of these duodenal masses using fluoroscopy, ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging and discuss the role of imaging. In addition, the clinical implications of these entities will be discussed. The cases will include: duodenal duplication cyst, duodenal web, choledochocele, duodenal hematoma, and duodenal adenoma.

Midgut malrotation can lead to significant morbidity and even mortality if complicated by volvulus or obstruction related to Ladd bands. At our institution, it is routine practice to perform fluoroscopic upper gastrointestinal (UGI) exams to assess for intestinal malrotation prior to gastrostomy tube placement. We sought to determine if it is feasible to assess midgut rotation using any previous MRI exams that include the upper abdomen. We hope to remove the need for upper GI exams in patients with previous MRI exams, thus preventing unnecessary radiation exposure and overutilization of resources, prior to gastrostomy tube placement.

Upper gastrointestinal studies are used for the diagnosis of intestinal malrotation, and the configuration of the duodenum and position of the DJ flexure are used for diagnosis. There are various challenges associated with diagnosing malrotation on the AP view, and obtaining a lateral view is recommended for diagnosis. To be useful, the lateral view must be of adequate quality. In addition, radiologists must be aware of the normal appearance and configuration of duodenal variants such as duodenum redundum, on the lateral view, as misdiagnosis of these may lead to unnecessary surgery. We aim to determine the proportion of lateral views considered of adequate quality for diagnosis, as well as the prevalence of a not previously described sign, the 'descending stair' and its correspondence to a diagnosis of duodenum redundum.
