Abstract

Duplications of the alimentary tract are rare malformations which vary in appearance, size, location and symptoms. They are reported from tongue to anus in Para mesenteric location which differentiates them from diverticulum. Duplications are either cystic or tubular in shape communicating or noncommunicating and epithelial lining often mimics adjacent intestine. Some duplication cysts are silent and persist into adulthood. Presentation depends on location and size and presence of heterotopic gastric mucosa causing voloulus or intussusception, constipation or painless gastro intestinal bleeding. Neoplastic changes have been reported in duplications. Ultrasonography, computed tomography and contrast studies can be useful in diagnosis. This is prospective study to evaluate and review Gastro intestinal duplication over 3 years regarding various clinical presentations preoperative diagnosis and treatment modalities.
