A 2.5 kg female neonate, born after a normal 39-week pregnancy to Arab parents (1st degree cousins), developed unremitting vomiting of gastric contents, not bile-stained. Barium study demonstrated a grossly distended stomach with complete obstruction of the outlet. At laparotomy, pyloric atresia and a heterotopic pancreas located subserosally on the antrum of the stomach were diagnosed. A 3-cm gap was measured between the occluded antrum and the duodenum. Transmesocolic gastrojejunostomy was performed, and oral feeding was started 5 days later. Pyloric atresia and heterotopic pancreas are both rare congenital malformations. To the best of our knowledge, the combination of pyloric atresia and heterotopic pancreas has not previously been reported.
