The severity of symptoms and the age of onset vary according to the size and location of the web, and if the obstruction is total or partial. When the obstruction is incomplete, as it was in our case, the clinical symptoms are variable and the diagnosis can be difficult. Case Presentation: A one month old girl was hospitalized with history of vomiting since she was born.
