Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Congenital Anomalies

Background:

  • Gastrointestinal duplications are rare congenital malformations.
  • They can present with varied and complex pathologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report three unusual cases of gastrointestinal duplications.
  • To discuss their clinical presentation, pathology, and management.

Main Methods:

  • Case series analysis of three pediatric patients.
  • Review of clinical presentation, surgical findings, and pathological anatomy.

Main Results:

  • Two cases involved cystic duplications, one with cecal volvulus, another with duodenal atresia and jejunal deletion.
  • One case presented a large tubular malformation of the jejunum, ileum, and colon, with duodenal stenosis and rectal atresia.
  • Cystic duplications allowed for complete surgical excision due to separate muscular coats.

Conclusions:

  • Gastrointestinal duplications require individualized management based on presentation and anatomy.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes in pediatric patients.
