Gastro – intestinal duplications are usually detected in children before 2 years of age due symptoms/complications associated with the condition or during surgery in the child for some unrelated condition. In adults colonic duplication is of rare occurrence and often diagnosed during surgery. However, it may be diagnosed pre operatively due to symptoms of obstruction, volvulus or rarely due to perforation. We present an adult having tubular duplication of ascending colon, that presented with perforation. The duplication had a blind end and did not have distal communication. In addition, it had its own blood supply. The management of the case is discussed. Aetiogenesis of the anomaly is enumerated and literature reviewed. For ascending colon duplication similar meaning word accessory ascending colon has also been used in the manuscript.

Enteric duplication cysts are uncommon congenital anomalies that can occur anywhere along the length of the alimentary tract or nearby organs. Overall, the colon is the least common site of congenital alimentary duplications. Colonic duplication cysts can present with symptoms of diverticulitis and can be confused with acquired giant sigmoid diverticula. We present a case of a sigmoid colon duplication cyst presenting as persistent diverticulitis in an adult male. We review the literature and attempt to differentiate congenital colonic duplication cysts from the more common, acquired giant colonic diverticula.
