What is the difference between duodenal atresia and duodenal stenosis?

Duodenal atresia and duodenal stenosis are both congenital blockages of the small intestine.

Babies with duodenal atresia have a complete closure in the first part of their duodenum. Babies with duodenal stenosis have an unusually narrow duodenum.
