Objective:

To report a case of delayed-presentation duodenal web in a toddler and demonstrate the utility of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in diagnosis and treatment.

Key Findings:
  • EUS effectively delineated the duodenal wall structure and clarified the obstruction's etiology.
  • Pathological biopsy ruled out neoplastic lesions, confirming the diagnosis of duodenal web.
  • Postoperative symptoms were completely relieved without complications.
Interpretation:

Remove unsupported claims about EUS's reliability.

Limitations:
  • The case report is based on a single patient, limiting generalizability.
  • Delayed presentation of duodenal web is rare, making it difficult to establish broader clinical guidelines.
Conclusion:

Revise to focus solely on the case details without implications for future cases.
