The more obvious the stenosis is, the more severe the symptoms will be. Most of them had incomplete intestinal obstruction after birth, such as repeated vomiting, milk clot and bile vomit, and fecal discharge after birth, but the amount was less than normal.

If the duodenum and upper jejunum stenosis, the upper abdomen expansion, and visible gastric peristalsis wave. If it is low stenosis, the whole abdomen will expand. Chronic dehydration and weight loss are common. In severe stenosis cases, complete intestinal obstruction appeared after birth, which was the same as intestinal atresia.

The abdominal X-ray plain film of standing position showed that the upper end of the stenosis was enlarged, and the lower end was only filled with a small amount of gas.
