duodenal atresia

duodenal atresia

my baby was diagnosed with duodenal atresia and immediately a surgery was performed on her for her survival. Now she is OK. can she face some other problems in future related to it?
the doctors had screened her for cystic fibrosis where she was found positive however she has no symptoms of cystic fibrosis? what can be the complications/consequences of the both? is there any relation between both?

Hi, There is no relation between the two, and once the duodenal atresia is corrected and the baby has healed, there are no future problems.  Cystic Fibrosis usually doesn't present with any symptoms until a later age.  The only symptom in a baby is their skin will taste salty when kissed.  If you google, duodenal atresia, and click on the first link, it will give you everything you need to know about CF, and what to expect.  I hope this helps, and blessings to all of you.

I had an operation on a deuodenal-atresia when I was born and didn't really have many problems with it other than stomach pains when I ate certain foods such as curries and fizzy drinks. However when I was sixteen I suddenly got severe stomach pains and began vomiting I was admitted to hospital and eventually the doctors discovered that it scar tissue from my original operation had grown and partially re-obstructed my small intestine. I had further surgery to correct this. I'm not sure how common this is, but that was my experience with deodenal-atresia.
