An 11-year-old girl with duodenal and jejunal strictures considered to be inaccessible for surgery was successfully treated using balloon dilatation under fluoroscopic control via a duodenostomy. This is the first reported paediatric case of small bowel stricture dilatation using a balloon catheter, and it is also the first report of the small bowel being approached for balloon dilatation through a duodenostomy. This case demonstrates another use for balloon dilatation which appears to be a relatively safe and effective form of treatment for short, subacute strictures involving the gastro-intestinal tract.
