Abstract:
Intestinal atresias and duplications of the alimentary tract commonly present in the neonatal period or early infancy, but in rare cases they can persist and present de novo during adolescence. We report on these two abdominal congenital anomalies, the clinical presentations of which in adolescence and young adulthood are unique.
