Cystic Duplication Cyst of Ascending Colon in an Adult

ABSTRACTGastrointestinal duplication cysts are rare congenital abnormalities that are usually seen in childhood. Colonic duplication cyst is very rare in adults and is usually asymptomatic. We report a 42‑year‑old female with a duplication cyst in the proximal ascending colon who presented with recurrent episodes of colicky abdominal pain. The cyst could be well visualized on colonoscopy and the patient underwent successful right hemicolectomy with ileotransverse anastomosis.

Cystic Duplication of Ileum Causing Intestinal Obstruction in a Newborn Child

Intestinal cystic duplication is rather rare vital abnormality manifesting in several clinical presentations. Clinical case of successful treatment of ileal cystic duplication is described. It manifested in low intestinal obstruction in a newborn child.

Communicating Tubular Duplication of Upper Esophagus–A Rare Occurrence

Duplications of esophagus are commonly classified into two types, tubular and cystic. Tubular duplication of esophagus is a rare occurrence and is much less common than cystic duplication of foregut. Most esophageal duplications are located in the lower third of the esophagus. A cervical esophageal duplication is extremely rare. Esophageal duplications have been reported twice as commonly on the right as on the left. We report a case of incidental finding identified on computed tomography of communicating tubular esophageal duplication involving the left side of the upper esophagus in a tuberculosis patient that was subsequently confirmed on barium swallow test.
