Rarely, it is seen in adults who remain asymptomatic or present with vague abdominal symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

CONCLUSION: Congenital intestinal duplication presents as an intestinal obstruction or an abdominal mass in childhood. Abdominal ultrasonography is a major diagnostic method and surgical intervention is mandatory. [koreamed.org]

Expert surgeons, all active both as educators and with busy clinical practices, have written concise and practical chapters on the most commonly done procedures while providing much-needed insight on less frequently presentations, as well. [books.google.de]

We present an unusual case of a 13 year old boy, who presented with an acute abdomen and malaena with contrasting radiological and operative findings. [adc.bmj.com]

Moreover, Tc-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy is recommended as the first-line option of choice for the workup of DAT[ 16 ]. The positive result depends mainly on the abnormal enrichment of radionuclides accumulated by the heterotopic gastric mucosae. [wjgnet.com]

Computed tomography (CT) scan: CT scan, especially multi detector CT of the chest or abdomen is useful in establishing a diagnosis of alimentary tract duplication during the preoperative workup and may be used to evaluate synchronous distant lesions once [sjmms.net]

A 25-year-old man complained of chronic, intermittent abdominal pain for 3 years following previous appendectomy for the treatment of suspected appendicitis. [wjgnet.com]

If they are detected, treatment of intestinal duplications is surgical with complete resection of the duplicated portion. For proximal lesions, an endoscopic approach can be considered when a highly skilled endoscopist is available ( 1, 2, 3 ). [msdmanuals.com]

Treatment used was resection and anastomosis of the involved intestine in 8 cases, septostomies in 2, anoplasty in 1, marsupialization in 1 and transanal excision in 1. There were no postoperative complications or mortality experienced. [koreamed.org]

The prognosis depends on other associated anomalies. [intechopen.com]

Prognosis is determined by the length and function of the remaining bowel. Long-term complications include malabsorption, feeding intolerance and bacterial overgrowth (3). [hawaii.edu]

Because of the small number of patients, the prognosis of adenocarcinoma arising in an intestinal duplication is not well understood. [kjim.org]

Surgery is the treatment of choice and this condition has an excellent prognosis. [ijhas.in]

The etiology of intestinal duplications is unknown. Theories include abnormalities in recanalization, a vascular insult, persistence of embryonic diverticula, and partial twinning. [msdmanuals.com]

Etiology The true etiology of GI tract duplications is not known. [7] Several theories have been postulated. The idea that the initial developmental abnormality occurs in the gastrulation stage and results in a split notochord has been proposed. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Epidemiology Exact incidence is unknown. Approximately two-thirds of all intestinal duplications are discovered within the first two years of life. [surgery4children.com]

Epidemiology GI duplications are observed in 1 of every 4500 autopsies, predominantly in white males. Synchronous GI duplications occur in as many as 15% of patients. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The following are examples: Thoracoabdominal duplications - Vertebral anomalies (approximately 75%) Enteric cystic duplications - Intestinal atresias Tubular hindgut duplications - Genitourinary malformations Pathophysiology GI duplications are most frequently [emedicine.medscape.com]

The pathophysiological mechanisms are still unclear, with most cases occurring sporadically, although rare cases were reported in some families. [intechopen.com]

This approach has helped in defining the natural history of congenital anomalies, determining the pathophysiologic features that affect clinical outcome and formulating management based on prognosis. [ijri.org]
