To sum up the experience of diagnosis and treatment of intrinsic upper gastro-intestinal membrane, 13 cases in children were studied retrospectively. There were 10 boys and 3 girls, the major symptoms were vomiting and epigastric distension. Eleven cases were treated by membranectomy with intestinal plasty, and 2 cases were treated by retrocolic side to end duodenojejunostomy. All cases had good results without severe complications. The children who have typical symptom of upper digestive tract should be considered duodental and upper jejunal membrane, and should be proved by contrast radiology. The membranectomy with intestinal plasty is the better operative method.
