1. Obstruction in the newborn infant due to annular pancreas occurs in the descending portion of the duodenum and is usually a partial obstruction.
2. Other anomalies are frequently present in association with annular pancreas. Intestinal malrotation and mongolism were the most frequent major anomalies found.
